Oh BOY. Same here. It a subject I dont ever touch on publicly ...but I am right there with you ladies on THAT. ( Celia, is there some odd happenstance that we are married to the same guy???? Stocks,...

Awwww Jill. You have every right to vent--we all do. I think forums DO become an anonymous outlet of sorts...because we DO bite our tongues to all the people in our everyday life, who just dont get...

Oh how I can relate.
As in my last post... I get so agitated, knot in the stomach ( we're going soon too, 17th)..I try not to be snappy with the rest of my family, but admit that I sometimes do. ( I...

This is an amazing, compelling and heartwrenching story. I hope that all goes well as the days pass. I cant even speak on fusion ( experience-wise) but can relate in the way that this darned...

I think that every single parent here shares some common bonds. Fear. Fear of their childs future, fear of making the right decisions. Fear of how quickly ( or sometimes how slowly) scoliosis can...

It is all interesting Maria, and so many facets to it. The concept of "lots of growth" is what compells us to address Miles' surgery at such a s young age. I will certainly have more concrete answers...

Agreed. But, the original commentaries make the rest of the posts defeating to what this is all about. To debate the validity of a statement, in honor of providing accurate info ( we DO all agree...

How kind, and relevant to anything regarding treatment options for our children. There you go, Celia supporters...more ugly, sarcastic, sour, unrelated drivvel in place of adult, reasonable, factual...

Yes, that was the article, interestingly regarding the same topic and numbers. It would be rather odd that Dr D'Andrea would have such different opinions on such similar situations. She is not in the...

Below is an ACTUAL quote, as said by Dr. D'Andrea.


Linda D'Andrea, M.D. (in regards to stapling)
"Her 20 degree thoracic curve has now decreased to 11 degrees, and her 25 degree lumbar curve is...

Lets guess who that...

Hi,
I find your posts interesting and very informative. I wonder if you would share your thoughts regarding a question which lingers for us.
Our son, Miles (2) was diagnosed with thorasic,...

HI,
I am on the other forum of which Maria informed you, but sometimes here. I noticed that you are in MD, and said that you have some parent connections in VA. I am also in VA, my son has...

WOW!!!! I heard of that case, and indeed it IS questionable while the whole "operation was shut down" (so to speak)...that the said orthotic would still be considered at all in a current insurance...

An afterthought. I thought I would share what I did have saved to disc. ( I honestly dont have a whole lot of time to look up new abstracts daily, my three keep me running, Im sure you all know that...

Oh my. Well Gerbo, for the sake of parents actively seeking this route for their child, I'll repeat:

My share is that of firsthand, face to face information given to us by Dr. Betz, Ashgar and...

See! Sans Celias blurbs, the forum seems able to recollect nicely!

Since I had mentioned that some info was outdated, I maintain that statement. SO much has changed in two years. These are two...

POST #1....

These personal attacks directed at me and my daughter are unwarranted and hurtful! It basically amounts a to lynch mob mentality.

Hi

After perusing this VBS thread, I had some thoughts to share. Maria F brings to the table some very real points regarding the importance of being sure that comments made here do not sway or...

Hello-

This would be my first post here. We have recently found out about our 14 mo. old, Miles, 30 degree scoliosis. It is SO much information, in such a short period..and still much of it up in...
