Melissa,
I know its easier said than done but try not to worry ~ I know Nicole will be just fine and back on stage dancing before you know it.
I remember this gal back in the 7th grade so we're talking 20+ yrs ago who had very agressive scoliosis so she was fused the summer between our 7th and 8th grade yr she at that time was a competetive gymnast. Anyway by the time we got to high school she joined the cheer squad and continued on he squad all four yrs of high school ~ she was out there tumbling doing backflips, frontlips, cartwheels her fusion did not seem to limit her one bit. And back then she had been told she would no longer be able to do any gymnastics at all, this only made her more determined and she worked hard and it all paid off for her. This was 20+ yrs ago technology and surgical procedures have only gotten better since then, so I see no reason why Nicole wouldn't be able to continue what she's doing now after she is fully healed. I realize that some flexibility may be comprimised but she'll adjust to whatever limitations she has if any and find another way to do the same things she's been doing. Oh and my girlfriend is now the proud mommy of 3 children 1 boy and a set of twin girls.
Good Luck and keep us posted.
Hugs ~ Amanda
