Christine2,
I'm sending both of my kids to a camp they have been to before. Last year I didn't send them anywhere (I am a teacher, so I'm home in the summer). It's just that there is NO WAY I am staying home with my 12 year old son again all summer. I don't want to be the entertainment committee anymore. Since Tristan is going, Emily wants to try it. She does have the option of not going, but I feel bad for her to be "bored" with "noone to play with".
The doctor who braced her said that if she is at 10 degrees out of the brace when we get an xray in June, that he may take her out for awhile and see how she does. I'm not sure I agree with taking her out of the brace completely, even for just a few months to see what happens. But the idea of taking her out of it during the day for the summer months is really becoming appealing. I am so confused right now. I really WANT to take her out, if the curve is low. By the same token, I'm terrified that if we give her a break, she will enter a growth spurt at just that moment.
All through the past year having her in the brace has really seemed easy. Lately, it seems we are all just not handling it as well.
