Well, we had another appointment for Katie. It's been 2 1/4 years since Katie has been wearing her brace. I'd asked her doctor for an OUT of brace xray also this time-while he really didn't think it was necessary (for reasons discussed elsewhere) he kindly accomodated us. Her out of brace curve is now basically half of what it had been in the beginning:it is down to 10T/3T. (see my signature for it's history) I had been told it takes at least 2 years for curve reductions with spinecor to potentially start to "stick". Since we were so close to 2 years, I was just hoping to ensure that her out of brace curve hadn't crept up 5 degrees or more-I wasn't expecting to see a curve reduction. It was a pleasant surprise. I know with scoli we still have a long war ahead of us, but it's nice to have little victories here and there. Because the curve was so low they didn't feel they needed to take an in brace xray also so we avoided the extra radiation exposure.
Just thought I'd post my update...it's been quiet on this board and I hope the rest of you will post your updates as you have your appointments!
