Kaitlyn is currently wearing a back brace to hold and maintain her curve. Her Orthopedic Dr believes that she will no longer benefit from casting. Her last xray this past fall shows that curve is holding at 25 to 30 degs. The brace has held her curve thus far from further progressing. This is wonderful news for Kaitlyn, and we covet your prayers that it stays this way for as long as possible. Kaitlyn doesn't mind her brace at all and gets along wonderfully with it, as she did her casts. She is no longer in the "severe scoliosis" category, thanks to her casts, and is in the "moderate scoliosis" category. She will continue to see her Orthopedic Dr. every 6 months for xrays and check ups.
