Next Wednesday we are going to the Shriners to get K's back brace. They are going to keep her at least one night and they will monitor her. We have to work her into the brace to make sure that she is doing well with it. It will take time to get her up to 23 hours a day in the brace, but Nate will be home now and so that will help. We couldn't ask a daycare provider to spend that much time with K and her brace. We are hoping that this will correct the problem and there is a small part of me that is hoping it won't be during the day, but eventually will only be at night. We don't know for sure what is in store. It is going to be a very difficult few days/weeks, but we believe that this will help with the scoliosis. We will keep you all posted as soon as we are able.
For those of you who don't know, K is a beautiful little girl who was affected by Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS). She was born with a malformed arm and several other problems related to the ABS.
