Casting Works! By Jenn Leggett

I just wanted to update everyone on our son and show that this does work. At his follow up this week we found out that his curve is holding at 4 degrees after 1.5 years out of his casts! His numbers are the lowest they have ever been and the doctor doesn't feel that there is any reason to worry about regression even during his teen growth spurts! It is wonderful news for our son, and a wonderful victory for the doctors who are working hard to make this treatment available to all kids by making it standard of care!
