Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Very well put. Tell Breanns Grandma we are deffinetly thinking of them. Also if she would like my mom would really like to meet them. She would love to offer them some support since they live so close. Also when do you need those x-rays and I will bring Devyn's down to you later this week.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 , Thanks for posting about Breann. What she had done was alot to ask her body to handle at once. I will continue to pray for her and her wonderful Grandma! It is frustrating to know that Early Treatment would have spared her all this. Olivia too. I can only figure that God gives the tough road to some to be pioneers and strengthens them as they walk it so that the road becomes smoother to those who follow behind them. Let's keep working ok! Let's smooth out the road.

The Veptr didnt work out for Breann like everyone had hoped, and last week it was decided that the best plan of action would be to remove it. Last December 07, her left Veptr rod (dual hybrid attached to her pelvic structure) was removed, and she was placed in a brace. Last week, the right Veptr rod was removed, an anterior release was performed, 5 disks were removed, a rib was removed, and she was placed into a halo. All of this, to prepare for her definitive spinal fusion in 3 to 6 weeks. As you can imagine, she is having a difficult recovery and enduring a lot of pain. I am sharing this story in hopes that it will help someone new on this forum to understand the importance of Early Treatment for progressive infantile scoliosis. Infants diagnosed with the progressive form of scoliosis do not have time to wait and watch. ET has the ability to rid them of the deformity, gently & permanently, if applied properly. ET can prevent them from living a life full of surgeries, a deformity , pulmonary issues & pain. There is a window of time that infants/children can benefit from the Early Treatment Method, so learn as much as you can about this method, and scoliosis, and take action now. The ISOP website was dedicated to Breanns mum Joyce back in 02, and I know that she would have wanted me to share Breanns current situation. If Joyce would have known about Dr. Mehtas Early Treatment Method, she would have pursued it for her daughter and odds are that Breann wouldnt be suffering... I realize that each and every child with scoliosis is different, but Breanns case was diagnosed at 29 degrees, under 1 yr. of age…….She would have benefitted greatly from Dr. Mehtas ET Method. Again, this story is not to scare you. This is reality for children suffering with severe scoliosis, who didn’t have the ET option 8/9 years ago…..Please send your strength and good thoughts to our girl Breann and her family.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Thanks for your dedication to the children and ISOP's mission.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 , This just breaks my heart. Of course, I will keep Breann and her family in my thoughts and prayers. And, thank you to ISOP and all of the parents here who encouraged me to pursue Early Treatment for Ian. ET gave Ian a second chance at life and I only wish every child had the opportunity we were given. >From: heather@... >Date: 2008/03/17 Mon PM 02:41:46 CDT >To: infantile_scoliosis >Subject: Breann update > >I am sure that many of you have read Breanns Story on >www.infantilescoliosis.org Breann and Olivia have followed eachother on >this scoliosis journey, since they were 2 & 3 years old (they are now 10 & >11).

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Thank you for being such a great support to parents on this group! Breann is doing a little better. They are starting more aggressive respiratory therapy to help her collapsed right lung and the build up of fluids, and she sat up, yesterday! Please continue to send your strength, . She is such a sweetie and my heart is also aching for her and her family. I have become so close to them over the years. My best! HRH > , > > This just breaks my heart.
