A concern I have with getting an accurate read of the x-ray is that if Dr. Rivard's mesasurement is correct Esme's curves are advancing at an alarming rate. 14 degrees in just over three months seems fast to me anyway. If she is advancing that quickly then she needs to see the doctor at CHEO sooner than the April 28th appointment they have given us.
I don't mind if people want to have a try measuring her curves. I have been doing it with the software which came with the x-ray files and have been unable to come up with the same cobb angles as Dr. Rivard - my measurements are coming out lower but still in the 50's. When I measure a hard copy with a ruler and a protractor I am getting lower measurements too.
I am not going to base any decisions for action based on the measurements anyone comes up with - I am just curious what other people might get if they try to measure her curves.
