| Together We Are Stronger |
Brian is now home from the hospital, eating well, back to school and gaining his strength back. We are very happy about that. He was well taken care of at the hospital by the staff and his Mom & Dad, who stayed with him in shifts during his entire time there.
The rest of our families took turns taking care of Aiden at home, so they could be there.
Aiden had an appointment with the specialist for his scoliosis. For this we had to travel to another city hospital.
They feel the degree of his curvature has not progressed any further from the last X-Ray a year ago. So, there was not talk of surgery at this point, which is wonderful news, for now. They talked about the possibility of a brace.The doctor felt that it may or may not help Aiden, due to the location of his curvature being so low on his spine. It was decided for forego the brace for now, as well. So it will be just a case of watching him carefully and revisiting the situation next year.
He did very well at his visit and didn't complain about the procedure at all. He was rather proud to see himself in the X-Ray slides.
