Laura, that's great news about Immy!!!!! Yay! How long was she out of brace before they took those Xrays?
Emily's Mom, Like you I was told to wait for progression and haven't done so either. We'll never know the definitive "What if" answers (i.e. if we had taken an alternate course) which is so maddening about scoliosis. However, I'm inclined to think that if she progressed so quickly in spinecor (even if it wasn't positioned properly which might have contributed to it) that she probably would have progressed anyway??? I'm thinking maybe its evidence that its a good thing you didn't wait? I forget who suggested it, but maybe if you go back even sooner than they suggested it would give you some more information to work with - like maybe a month or two?
I don't take the brace apart to wash it either...I through the whole thing in the machine on delicate/cold cycle and use a dryer on low heat; if I understood Dr. Colliard correctly, the pelvic base is made out of something different than it originally was which is why you can put it in the dryer even though the manual (which was printed earlier) says not to?
