It has been awhile since I posted. Oldest DD's scoliosis stopped at around 32-34 (but she'll continue to get checked annually). Youngest DD (age 16) went for check-up today. She sleeps in a night brace (she loves it!). She is supposed to NOT wear the brace for 3 days before her check-up.. but she/we forgot.. so it is possible her real "out of brace" curve reading of 41 today could be higher. Progressed from 37 six months ago. She is a late bloomer, bone age has always run behind actual age.
We're going back at the end of January. I worry that surgery may be in our future. How long is the recuperation period for lumbar surgery fusion? Is that what is typically done? Ugggh, I know nothing and feel I need to prepare.
