Carly's Mom,
What are your daughter's curves?
Caroline,
Dr. Rivard is right. If the curves start progressing, you will know. Nicole's curves were basically 34 in the brace for about a year. Five months later, it was 48 in the brace. Since she was getting a 10 degree correction up until this point, our biggest fear was that her curve was now 58 without the brace. But thankfully we found out that her curve was now 52 without the brace. (I told you 55, but CHOP measured it at 52. I like that better!!!!)
This means that Nicole went up from 44 to 52 in 5 months and the brace was no longer giving her more than a 4 degree correction.
You will know. Trust them. But I hope you never know of that. It is such a sinking feeling.
Olivia's Mom,
I am thrilled that you finally talked to Dr. Rivard and are seeing him. I wish all of you the best of luck.
