Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Have you had a chance to discuss casting with his dermatologist? HRH From: infantile_scoliosis [mailto:infantile_scoliosis ] On Behalf Of twirpette03 Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 3:52 PM To: infantile_scoliosis Subject: Re: cast experiences Tomorrow we will be going in for xrays to see if we have to start bracing. He is 3 1/2, has progressed, has 2 curves last check both at 15 deg. Just wanted to say that we have had our fair share of staring. He had torticollis and plagiocephaly when he was little and he had a helmet for about 6 months. We got a lot of stares, people thinking it was for seizures, etc. Sometimes people would ask, and I didn't mind at all. My husband, being the comedian that he thinks he is, would always come up with some crazy thing. It got some laughs though. Then my son also has severe eczema. We have it much better under control now with food allergy diagnosis, diet elimination and daily soaks/ wet wraps. We got way more stares from that. Either they thought that he was contagious or that we were neglectful or what ever. I don't know that we can do casting. His skin just wouldn't handle it, I don't think. But we will cross that bridge when we get to it. Any suggestions for tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
