My curve was at 55 degrees until I had my first baby, and then it progressed to 78 degrees. Surgery was obviously necessary, so I had both the fusion and rods put in. I can tell you I have never lived life more fully and pain free since I had that done. Don't be scared if it comes down to surgery. Just make sure you have the right doctors. I teach aerobics and have had 2 more kids after the surgery. I feel awesome! Now my two boys both have scoliosis (they are 4 and 6) so I understand how it feels to have your children go through this. My prayers are with Keaton. You have a beautiful family.mindijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282869523485331383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20893181.post-21995002242338800092009-06-04T10:07:27.126-05:002009-06-04T10:07:27.126-05:00Keaton will be on our prayer list @ First Baptist ...Keaton will be on our prayer list @ First Baptist Church Windermere.

I Was reading your blog on Keato...Hi Walla family! I Was reading your blog on Keaton and it touched my heart. You see, I have had scoliosis since I was a child. Now I am 57 years old and am very healthy and I do everything even exercise regularly. My parents never took me to the doctor for it so I made the best of the situation. The army rejected me and I was classified 4F. In my early twenties, I went to a Christian prayer meeting and was prayed over and one of my legs was shorter than the other due to the scoliosis and it grew back to the same length as the other one. This helped me a lot and gave me more confidence that I would be totally healed. There is still a pronounced curve in my back but through my faith in God I believe that it will be totally straightened. I thank the Lord that I had a relatively normal life despite the odds. I started praying for Keaton and am believing for his total healing in Jesus name. May your family be blessed for the all the good that you are doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20893181.post-48657842727515513342009-05-29T06:11:02.275-05:002009-05-29T06:11:02.275-05:00I am so sorry you are hit with this news, and we c...I am so sorry you are hit with this news, and we can totally relate. Our 3 year old daughter (adopted from China)has scoli among other issues and has recently had rods put on her spine. She wears a TLSO brace except when she is sleeping. I was aprehensive about it as well, but it can be hidden under her clothing and other than her getting hot, she seems to not mind it at all. She has had spinal cord surgery as well so I know you all must be totally overwhelmed with all of it hitting you at once.<br /><br />I might recommend that you contact Shriners hospital for a second opinion. They are cutting edge on technology and have advances for these kids. We live in GA but have our daughter's care in Philly at Shriners. I can give you more info if you need it.<br /><br />Just know you aren't alone and we will be praying for you all as you navigate through this "new normal "<br />Hugs to you!!!Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708109501756856281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20893181.post-78050817620240744772009-05-29T01:13:10.622-05:002009-05-29T01:13:10.622-05:00I am so sorry to hear this news.
