Mary Ellen,
Take a deep breath. There is not much in your control when it comes to scoliosis. Sure there are some decisions you can make regarding bracing and such, but in the end, whatever is going to be, will just be. If your son gets to the point of needing surgery (which I pray that he doesn't), then you will get through that, as well. You will research a few doctors/hospitals and then make a decision.
We think we have so much we have to decide for our kids when unfortunately so much of it is decided for us. You are only human. You make the best decisions for your son that you can make knowing the limited information that you are supposed to know. Don't expect any more from yourself than that. That is when you start to drive yourself crazy.
You have all of us here for support. We are all worried, loving Parents who are trying to control scoliosis, too. We are all getting through this together. You are not alone.
