Back to SLC

[Guest guest]

Well we are off to SLC for Dylans cast change this week.

Dylan has done very well in this cast. I kinda wish we could go a bit

longer this cast has held up very well. But SLC wants to have it

changed they feel that they can get better correction if it were

changed so basically 3 months. Has anyone gone 4 or 5 months in one

cast, just a thought, we could have easily gone another month or 2.

I would like to ask if we can get an xray before this cast is removed

to see if actually the cast has any impact on his curve. Then have an

xray taken when the new cast is applied and compare the two. I think

this would give me a better sence if casting is really helping or just

holding it to a certain degree. Dylan is now 3 so I do know that

getting correction will become more difficult to get. The docs in SLC

have told me they will cast him until he can no longer tolerate the

cast. How long that may be is anyones guess. So its more me asking if

its just maintence of his curve. I really dont mind if it is because at

least it isnt getting worse.

I will make this trip a great one because hes a great kid. The casting

for him will only be a minor glitch hopefully!!!

I hope everyone has a great holiday season and all the best in the

coming year!
