Hello everyone,
My Daughter, Caity was just diagnosed with a double (s) curve of her spine. The lumbar area is 45 degrees and the Thorasic is 55 with a twist towards her lungs.
The Doctor immediately started talking about surgury. My wife and I could not stop crying for the rest of the day and sporadically since. This was on Wed, 9/1/04 when she saw the spine specialist. We are so worried. I am just blown away by it all. Caity is kind of excited because she has always wanted a wheelchair! She may finally get her wish, unfortunately. We have been cruising the web ever since trying to learn as much as we can. It is good to know that there are others who have gone through the surgery and have nothing but good things to say about it, but it is very worrysome. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Worried Dad.
