Hi Nikki,
I was wondering if your daughter's curve was noticeable at 88 degrees. When do you think it first started to curve? Why wasn't it picked up at 30 degrees, for example? I hope you don't mind my asking.
My Nikki 's curve was noticed at 10 and a half. Her ped. told me it was starting to curve and to bring her back in 6 months. I never brought her back for that. I didn't think it was a big deal. We were dealing with bronchitis and fevers and other typical illnesses that year. She was at the doctor's about 3 more times since then, and it slipped my mind for them to check her back. We go to a group, so there is little "checks and balances." By the time she went back a year later for her 11 and a half check up, she had a 37 degree curve. When the doctor showed me her spine, I could see the shoulder blade sticking out. And when she bent over, I could see one half higher than another.
