Subject: Thanks

for the Articles & Everyone else for this group and its info

,

I wanted to thank you again for all of those articles. I suspected

that my son 's twin()might be tethered as well and it turns

out he is! Your articles gave me the confidence and the education

I needed to trust my instincts and fight for an MRI ASAP for my son.

I was afraid of coming off as a paranoid mother and ruining my reputation

with 's doctors. It was a hard decision. I didn't want

to jeopardize the doctor's opinions of me for 's sake and yet I

didn't want to wait so long that I was sure was tethered and thus

increase his chances of permanent damage. I think I found a great balance.

THANKS to everyone else for this list and the info you share. It

has made a

difference in my son's life - see my other note.

Thanks again,

Pendergraft (mom to , TCS, syrinx, and , fatty

filum, syrinx)
