17 month old with congenital scoliosis

[Guest guest]

My name is cindy and I have a 17 month old with congenital scolosis,

he recently had an appointment at SLC shriners with doctor ogolvie.

They told me that casting wouldn't work for him and all we had left to

do is wait and see, we have to take him back in 6 months, but I'm

afraid his curve will progress. when he was first diagnosed with

scoliosis he had a 25* curve, now last wendsday his curve was 35* the

doctor said we still had to wait another 6 months to see if it kept

progresing, I just feel overwhelmed and think the doctor should of

started some sort of treatment before the curve progresses even more.

Does anybody have any suggestions or advice? He is also schedule for an

MRI next saturday, Is there anything I should know about it? I mean is

it dangerous? Can there be any complications? I will appriciate any

advice or information that I can get, thanks.
