Dr. Rubery - Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, New York

[Guest guest]

We are new to ISOP but would like to share our story regarding our

son and would appreciate your comments and support.

Our son, , is 20 months old and his thoraxic curve is

currently at 40 degrees and his spine is rotated. When we first

discovered his scoliosis, in January of this year, his curve was 29

degrees. His doctor recommended to first wait and see, then that he

be placed in a brace in November. This time period allowed the

curvature to unfortunately progress significantly. When we went to

the specialist to have the brace made, it was recommended that he

have an MRI done prior to any treatment. After the MRI, we are going

to have him evaluated by Dr. Rubery and have a serial plaster cast

applied. We would appreciate any further insights from your

experiences and of course welcome all support given.

We live in the panhandle of West Virginia and would welcome

any " local " families' information regarding travel, lodging, and just

all around general helpful hints.

Thanks,

The Sine Family
