Thursday, May 1, 2008
Well, at the prompting of Ron, I am trying to start a blog to help keep family and friends informed of what is going on with Molly. Many of you may not know this yet, but Molly was diagnosed last Thursday, (2 days after her 13th birthday) with Scheuermann’s Disease. We were a smidge floored although I suspected it but not at the level of which she has.
Let me back up a bit….Around Christmas time, Ron, Connor and I all noticed at the same time, something different about Molly’s back. She had bent over to pick something up and we saw a bend in her back where it shouldn’t have been. We all made some startled gasp which of course, freaked her out.
At first, we must have been in denial, we thought this was some muscular issue and would work itself out. In February, when it hadn’t changed, we made an appointment with the pediatrician. Our pediatrician then ordered xrays for Molly. The results came back a few days later from the radiologist that Molly had a 14 degree scoliosis curve in her lumbar area and an advanced exaggerated kyphotic curve in her thoracic area. Their suggestion was to see a spinal surgeon asap.
Well, the earliest we could get in was about 6 weeks later, which was last Thursday, May 1 at 2:15pm. Sadly, my stepmother from my youth, Vivianne, died Friday, April 25 and her scheduled very small service was slated for May 1 at 3pm in Grosse Pointe, MI. I struggled with missing the service and tried to reschedule the dr. appt but we couldn’t get another for over a month and we weren’t comfortable with that.
While at the spinal surgeon (Dr. Dale Rowe of MSU KCMS), we were informed of Molly’s diagnosis. We were told that Molly has about an 85 degree kyphotic curve. They informed us that Molly has what is called Scheuermann’s Disease.
This is what we know about Scheuermann’s Disease/Kyphosis(pronounced shoi-er-mans):
- It is a genetic condition carried by a recessive gene from either Ron or I. Our boys have a 50% chance of having it and will need to be followed carefully.
- Scheuermann’s is characterized by abnormal, wedged-shaped vertebrae that cause the thoracic spine to curve too much. Scheuermann’s kyphosis develops over time during periods of bone growth (such as puberty). It occurs when the front of the spine doesn’t grow as fast as the back of the spine and causes healthy, rectangular-shaped vertebrae to become triangular-shaped and wedged together. This causes the thoracic spine to curve more than normal. Patients become stooped forward with a bent-over posture. It shows up right after the child has a growth spurt and the spine doesn’t grow up but rather bends out.
- Scheuermann’s is differentiated from postural kyphosis (one caused by poor posture) by the following: if patient has a curve of over 50 degrees, if a patient has three or more adjacent vertebrae that are wedged together by at least 5 degrees per segment (15 degrees total across three segments) ,and if the patient has small disc herniations through the endplates of the vertebrae (called Schmorl’s nodes).
- It is more common in boys than in girls.
- The condition affects children aged 13-16 yrs and the diagnosis is rarely made prior to 10 years.
- Patients with curves greater than 70-75 degrees require surgery.
- Surgery is a spinal fusion of all vertebra affected.
Here is another link regarding the information above…
So, now our heads are reeling and the doc proceeded to tell us that it was suggested that Molly needs an 11 level (or 11 vertebrae) spinal fusion. This would be a 6 hour surgery which would require about a weeks stay in the hospital and about 1 month of intensive recovery followed by 5 more months of recovery to get Molly back active.
We were a bit blown away and Molly was quite the trooper through it all. She started to cry after the doctors left, but not much. She had an inkling that something would have to be done back when we found out she had this. She knew her options were possibly a brace or surgery. She was very afraid of having to wear the brace and what her classmates would say. Kids can be cruel.
Now, the brace wasn’t an option and it was all overwhelming. He explained that the spinal fusion would consist of screwing in stainless screws into the pedicles of her vertebra and these would then house clips to hold the two 1.5 foot titanium rods that would be placed along her spine to straighten it. They would shave off parts of her vertebra and then add bone from either her hip or a bone bank to fuse the vertebrae all together.
We went home with our heads spinning and began to learn about this as much as possible. Ron and I agreed we definitely needed a 2nd opinion.
Friday, May 2, 2008
Since this surgery is so long and on such a tricky part of her body, we wanted to find a doc who does this surgery ALL the time.
One of the doctors we were looking into was Dr. Lloyd Hey. Dr. Hey practices out of Duke Raleigh Medical Hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina. He has a scoliosis/kyphosis clinic down there and that is all he does primarily. I had found his blog several weeks ago and was impressed with how his blog informed of his scoliosis and kyphosis patient’s surgeries with photos and details. Ron, Molly, and I went back to this site and read for quite a while. Ron became so impressed that he felt we should check this guy out. Ron then said we should see his credentials and we went to that page. Whoa! We were floored. After Ron read it, he had no doubt that this is they guy we wanted to see Molly.
Dr. Hey, in a nutshell, graduated from MIT undergrad, Harvard Medical School, did his residency at Harvard’s Orthopaedic program, a pediatric orthopedic fellowship at Boston Children’s Hospital and this was the kicker for us, a neurosurgical fellowship at Duke.
To give a little background on Dr. Hey, he was in a very severe automobile/moped accident when he was 16 years old. He almost lost his life and leg. He was in the hospital for 3 months and endured 11 surgeries. His leg had somehow lost 2 inches of bone and he had to wear a metal device called a fixator. (Sort of seems like a halo but for the leg). It was so painful for him that he drafted his own device by transferring his xrays and the fixator’s measurements to graph paper. He then created his own “fixator” after changing it from its original parallelgram shape to a more triangular shape. His father took the plans to the Grumman Machine shop where they made the new device out of metal. They then asked Dr. Hey’s doctor to put the device on him. To us, that is just amazing.
Ron and I had decided to contact this doctor. Ron filled out a consult request and sent it to them over the weekend.
Mondy, May 5, 2008
We spoke with Meredith today over the phone. She is the scheduler down at Dr. Hey’s clinic. What a very nice, sweet, young lady she was. She was so accomodating and helpful. Meredith explained to us that Dr. Hey does his surgeries,2 a day, Monday-Thursday and sees new patients on Fridays. She said that Dr. Hey is a dad of two teenage children and doesn’t want to miss one of their games and they play on Fridays, so she wanted to find us a spot on a Friday when they didn’t play. (We totally understand with 3 being in Little League) If this date didn’t work for us, he could see us on a Monday through Thursday day between surgeries.
Meredith gave us the date of Friday, May 23 and it worked great for us. Ron went and found plane tickets via cheaptickets.com and we bought them to fly in on the Thursday before. I had arranged for Connor and Matthew to stay with our good friends, the Carusos. It worked perfectly as they go to the same school and Connor plays on the same baseball team as two of their sons. The only hitch was Connor has an all day field trip to Greenfield Village that day, which I was to chaperone but that was okay.
Later that afternoon
Around 3 pm on Monday, Meredith called me back from NC and wanted to let me know that Dr. Hey wanted to offer to do several phone consults on the phone vs. having us fly down to meet him. He said that many of his out of state and international patients will send their xrays and pics to him to look at and they will just speak on the phone several times. Then if patients decide to go with him, they schedule the surgery and come in a day ahead of time for the in person visit. Then she said he was there, if we wanted to speak with him. So, Ron and I conference-called him and spoke with him for about 20 minutes. He asked questions like “How tall we were” because he wanted to gauge how much taller Molly could be. Molly is 5’3″ right now but apparently after surgery will be 1- almost 2″ taller! And he needed to figure out where she is in her growth spurts. He also asked about our boys and that we need to follow them closely. He told us he generally does adolescent surgeries done in about 3.5 to 4 hours and that her hospital stay will be about 3-4 days long depending on what she has done. This sounds better to us than a 6 hour surgery.
Molly had many concerns, of course, about this surgery and one of them involved her sports. Molly plays softball (3rd base), skis and her favorite sport is volleyball. Well, some of these sports, we were told, were going to have to give for a year. We knew it was better to get this surgery done in the Summer for several reasons. One, she could heal and be fairly ready for school. Two, it is better to get this done before she has another growth spurt and her spine bows out some more. But Molly was devastated she wouldn’t be able to play Volleyball on her 8th grade team in the fall. But when Ron asked Dr. Hey about sports, he had said he can put Molly on a fast track rehab that he uses for his high performance athletes and she could be playing Volleyball in the Fall!!!
We were extremely impressed with him after our conversation and discussed the possibility of doing these phone consults vs. going down and meeting him in person first. We are very comfortable with this and Ron went and pushed the button to cancel our plane tickets! Saved us over $1000 in travel fees!
Dr. Hey has asked me to photograph Molly in her bathing suit from the side, front, back all standing and then one of her bending forward but taken from the side. Also, he asked us to have her xrays sent to him so he could analyze them himself and tell us his diagnosis and surgery suggestions. He expected we would talk to him near the end of this week or beginning of next, depending on when the xrays arrive. I contacted Bronson yesterday to get that ball rolling and need to go down today to release them.
Here are some images to show you kids with this exact same condition as Molly. None of these are Molly though.
A teen girl before and after correction.
A young girl before correction.
And this is a boy before and after correction.
Meanwhile, we are planning on scheduling Molly for a July surgery. Our plan is for her to have about half her summer to enjoy and then the other half to recuperate. We have discussed with Molly about our different options to do with the boys at that time. Initially, Ron had thought he would go down with us all and then return back to Kzoo to work and take care of the boys and leaving me with Molly in NC. But, after discussing it, we are tentatively planning on just staying down there the whole time. Molly wants both her mom and dad there and as she indicated, she really wants the boys there too. She put it in her thinking and felt that the boys would want to be there too since if it was her, she knows she couldn’t stand being at home if it was her brother going through the same thing. She would want to see him and support him. The boys would rather go with us too, than stay.
What we think we will do, although plans can change, is to be with Molly at the hospital on the first day. Ron will then be able to do outings, sight seeing, etc. with the boys on the other days and visit Molly whenever. I would stay with her and it sounds like they even have a bed for us to stay in her room with her. Ron and I could trade off too. Ron has a cousin, Kathy, and her husband Ralph, who live in Wilmington (about 2 hours away) and I know he is hoping to connect and visit with her too.
Tuesday, May 6, 2008
It is a lot to process. But we wanted to start a blog to keep family and friends updated. Ron had expressed that there are a lot of people out there that care about Molly and are worried for her and this is a good way to let them all know what is going on.
I will also include a few more links here for those interested in the surgery. These are videos of Dr. Hey actually performing the surgery. These two videos will show you the surgery she will have.
**Warning, they are graphic so if you aren’t into that kind of thing, don’t go. This one here shows a scoliosis surgery (almost identical in technique) with spine correction, rod bends, and bone grafting.Surgery Video #1
And this one shows the pedicle screws and the persuader that is used to correct the spine.
Surgery Video #2
This last video is to the surgery performed at Akron Children’s Hospital.
Molly’s big task now is informing her classmates of her impending surgery. She is a shy girl as it is but she does want them to know about it. Her big fear is that there are some kids who will make fun of her or that some girls and boys will say she is doing this on purpose or faking it or that she is being a baby. Her teacher has asked if she can inform the middle school and we have said yes, but Molly wants to help prepare the info to present to them. We have been looking at journeys of girls about Molly’s age who have gone through this surgery. They have made videos to show others what they have made it through and that others can get through this too. Molly would like to make one when it is all said and done, so we will document her journey for her. Sometime next week, after we find out what Dr. Hey has to say, I will go in to her class as the teacher presents the information. Fortunately, they have a projector with internet access and can present a video or website to help explain. Molly will choose what is presented with our approval.
Here is an example of one girl’s journey.
Let me just say that Molly has been an incredible trooper throughout this week. In fact, the day after her formal diagnosis, she said to me “Mom, this is just what is supposed to happen.” We have said lots of prayers and Matthew especially, blesses her every night along with “Eight Belles”.
Throughout her journey, you may leave comments for Molly or us here. You can leave questions for us too. We will check back and update more often as the time gets closer and as we know of updates. The highlighted items throughout the text are links to different pertaining sites. There are also some links on the right at the top of the blog. I think there may be a way you can subscribe to this blog to be notified of when we update it, but I’m not sure. I’ll look into that.
Thank you all for caring!
Lysanne, Ron, Molly, Connor, and Matthew
Molly's Blog 
I am so sorry to hear about Molly. I am however very happy that you did seek out a second opinion. It is so important for us to be an advocate for ourselves and seek out all of the information we can when any serious health concerns come up. Ralph and I would love to have your family visit us, and if you can’t make it down to the coast we will come up to Raleigh.
I don’t know if you have discussed this with Dr. Hey or my mom but as you may or may not know, my mom has been through two serious back surgeries. She has four titanium rods and fused discs in her lower back. The first surgery they used a five inch piece of bone from her hip she had a really tough time recuperating from the operation and still has hip pain. The second surgery they were able to use donor bone and the difference in recovery was incredible.
I know that Molly’s situation is different but you may want to ask the Dr. about using donor bone. And be sure to give my mom a call. We will keep Molly in our thoughts and prayers and I know that she is a real trouper and will pull through this with flying colors. We’ll be in touch – Love, Kathy
Wow! It sounds like you have done your homework and Molly will be under the care of a gifted surgeon.
Molly is a trooper! Let me know if there is anything I can do – ANYTHING. I need to feel like I’m helping somehow.
We love you, Mol!

Mrs. P.
I am so sorry to hear about Molly – but I am glad to
Hear you are tackling it with knowledge and
understanding. Thanks for blogging all this, I’m sure
it helps with the processing of the information also –
along with letting us all know what is going on.
We’ll keep Molly and all of you in our prayers. Keep
us all informed.
Molly,
If the kids at school say that you want this and that you just want attention, I will yell at them and try to take them out, it would so be worth the detention, or in school suspension, especially for you. Don’t worry about it, because I promise I will stand up for you, even to the boys. Mrs.Pearson, wouldn’t allow the other kids to say that anyway, plus they would not say that in front of your Mom or Mrs.P. Talk to you soon!!
Our thoughts and prayers are and will be with Molly through the next several months. We love you!
I am so sorry to hear what you are all going through. It does sound like you are all finding a great deal of strength. Please know that I will be praying for Molly and all you R_____s. Once she has told her classmates I will include her in our class intentions. I know that prayers can work wonders, having recently been on the receiving end of so many prayers.
Love,
Marti Wydick
Thank you for the blog and the information about Molly’s condition. If there is any way I can be of support, please let me know. I am sure the kids in our school will be supportive and encouraging, as they have in similar situations. A tragedy like this can also focus us on what is important in life. You will all be in my prayers. God Bless.
Molly – you will be blessed and I know everything will be just fine. This is just one of Life’s bumps in the road. I know you will carefully move over this bump in the road and then rev up your sports car and move through life at the pace of a teenager again! We love you! Gretchen, Jim, Hayden, Bridget and Ingrid.
Lysanne, Ron, and especially Molly,
My heart aches for you all and the trepidation this diagnosis has put into your lives. But it is so clear to me that you are doing all you can to hasten a healthy and speedy recovery. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Susan
Molly – I’m sure you don’t remember when we first
met. You were so tiny….maybe a couple months old.
Your Mom and I were college roommates. I can hear
the strength in you as I read what your Mom has
written. When I look back at some of the challenges
life has put before me, I remember the “hidden gifts”
that appeared. I hope you find many gifts throughout
this process. We will be sending you loving thoughts
and prayers.
Love, The Hansons – Jane, Greg, Frannie, and Mary
Lysanne, You brave wonderful woman! Molly will be ok and this is somehting that she will be able to use as a defining moment in her life. She will forever be known as a hero! I am certain that God has great things in store for her and this hurdle will be crossed. I will keep you in my prayers.
xxxoooo!

Molly,
In my note before this I forgot to mention that I’m so going to help Sydney if anyone says anything about it!!
Your Second Sister,
Taylor
Dear Molly & Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your surgery. I can only
imagine how scary it will be for you. My Mom and I
will keep you in our prayers. It sounds like your Mom
& Dad have found a great doctor to take care of you.
My Mom had surgery on her neck and back. She even
had bone taken from her hip. I’m sure my Mom would
talk to you about that if you wanted. If I can do any
thing for you, I hope you will tell me. We will keep
praying for you and your family!
Brian
Molly:
We want to let you know that we support you and if you need anything, let us know.
As time passes, you can become a supporter for other kids that will be going through the same process. You are a very brave and will get through this with “flying colors”. Keep your faith and everything will work out fine. To put everything in perspective, you are healthy and have great parents and brothers as well as friends to support you.
The Mancuso’s
Hey Molly,
My mom showed me your blog too cool, love the green. I want a website but not if it means a surgery like yours. I’m sorry to hear about your spine. Don’t worry about support cause your supercool family and all your friends will have so much support that you won’t know what to do with it. Hope that your surgery goes well and if your family needs any help i’ll do the lawn mowing but i think i’ll leave the cooking up to my mom!!!!!!
hang in there and keep us posted, kaileb
Molly,
I’m really sorry that you have to go through
this. You don’t deserve to have to. You have been a great friend to ev eryone. I don’t think anyone will make fun of you. Everyone really like you because you are nice to everyone. I am SO with Sydney and Taylor.
Everything is going to be all right. We’re behind you all the way. See you tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!! Friends Forever,
Cassi
Remember we love you and are here for you,
Cassi
You are very tough going through that surgery, I would never be able to go through that. I hope your surgery goes well and that you come back to school soon.
Joe Amatalatadingdong
Molly,
You are such a great friend and we all love you so much. You are being so strong and I can’t imangine what you are going through. We are all so proud of you. And if anyone says anything about you I will kick their butts. You don’t deserve this and I know you’ll get through this. I hope you get better. One thing is for sure our volleyball team won’t be as good without you. LOVE YOU. GET BETTER!!!!!!!!
We are so sorry to hear that. I know Molly will persevere. It will make her stronger and a better parent when she is older. Bryan was familiar with all the orthopedics stuff and said it sounded like you are getting the best care. He didn’t know of that doctor but I am asking my neighbor who is also in orthopedics, at a spinal implant company here. Bry’s company sold their spine product line. We will keep up with the blog. She doesn’t seem to have pain? What a blessing. I suppose this will kill any possibility of y’all visiting this summer. My kids will be bummedJ. We miss you all.
Take care,
Bryan and Wendy
Dear Molly, Lysanne and Ron,
Just this minute read your email and am so sorry.
Molly, you deserve the blue ribbon for bravery. Your parents have done the research and chosen the best possible doctor for you and with God’s blessing and the prayers of your family and friends you are going to recover nicely.
Love you lots,
Katy Proctor
“Mom, this is just what is supposed to happen.” I am
so impressed with Molly’s courage. She will help
others as much as they help her. My prayers are added
with all who are praying for Molly and your whole family.
God is good – all the time.
All the time God is good.
Blessings,
Corky O’Rourke Thomas
Molly, I am just finding out about your illness. I am so
glad to hear that you are letting a lot of people know
about this especially at St. A’s. I don’t know if you
remember but a few years ago I had a scary stay in
the hospital too. I counted on the prayers of the
St. A’s family. THEY REALLY WORK! God will heal you
Molly. He has to because he has so much in store
for you during your lifetime. He wants you to trust
him so he can comfort you when you are afraid.
Please know that the whole Tompkins family will be
praying for you during your surgery this summer. You
are a beautiful child of God. Stay strong!!
The Tompkins Family
Molly,
We will keep you and your whole family in our prayers every day.
It’s obvious your parents have already put some much effort into
finding you wonderful doctors. I’m sure everything will go well for you.
If there is anything we can do for you or your family you know all you
need do is ask. What we have learned through our years at St. A’s
is that when the chips are down everyone there comes through, just as
any really great family does!
Hey Molly,
Im really sorry to hear about what you have to go through, and i dont thik i could ever do it. It looks like you and your family have found a pretty awesome doctor to take good care of you. Hope all goes well!
Jared.
Hey Molly
I heard about your surgery and it sounds very scary but i heard that you are being very strong about going through it. i hope that it goes very safe and that you can come back to school as soon as possible. me and my family will be praying for you to get well. if you want to know my grandma is a spine nurse and does the same surgery that you go through and you can call her if you have any questions about it and my mom used to have a job where she would be in the operating room and watch spinal surgery just like yours so she could talk to you too.
HOPE YOU GET WELL SOON
Nathan Schneck
Molly-
This whole time i was thinking about me and
what i could do to help you instead of tinking about
you and put myself in your position. I have never
had surgery before and i have no idea what its like
but if i think of my parents coming home from the
doctor and telling me that i was getting surgery i
have no idea what i would do! Just remember to
be strong and you WILL get through this and if you
don’t i will get sooo depressed! You are always
so nice to everyone at school. I wish i could be
like that but people have reputations and mine
wouldn’t fit in with that. Well here is more smiles for
you: :)! -wReN bUrToN
P.S. Dr Hey sounds like a good doctor for you!
P.S.S. He has an awesome name
P.S.S.S. My Grandpas, doctors, name is Dr. Smiley
(No joke)
Molly, Lysanne, and Ron,
Our families prayers are with you guys. You should be confident that you have done your homework, and are getting the finest care available!! Coming from someone who knows – spinal fusion isn’t the end of the world (I have two rods, and six pedicale screws). I was certainly worried about loss of motion, and the long recovery, but it went by pretty quickly, and you will be amazed how your body will adapt, and let you move regardless of the rods!! Keep the positive attitude, it helps more than you realize!!
God Bless!!
Drew and Laura Uryga
Hey Molly-
Sorry to hear you have to have this surgery. Don’t
worry what anybody else thinks – you’ll be fine. Wish
you the best of luck and see ya around!
John Z.
Hi Molly and Family;
We just heard! You will be in our prayers. We are so sorry you have to go through this. Please rely on your faith and let God work his miracles through your suffering! You will be rewarded greatly!!! Lysanne, If I can do anything…please just ask. You are very special people and God WILL be at your side…lean on him.
Love and Prayers to you,
Colleen and Family
Dear Molly,
I just found out about your blog! It’s pretty cool. I’m so sorry that you have to go through this. You so don’t deserve it! I’m glad you found that great doctor in NC that can help you out. And, if I remember right, you told me the recovery doesn’t take as long either! I really hope that you will be able to play volleyball with us when we’re back in school next year, cause the team wouldn’t be the same without you!
My family and I will be praying for you everyday!
~Jackie
P.S. I love that picture of you way up on the top of the screen! You look so cute in it!
Molly and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
A positive attitude is everything in situations like yours and you all sound incredibly positive.
If there is anything we can do for you, please let us know,
Jane
Molly,
It’s Cassi again!!!!
Remember to stay strong through everything because in the end, it will all work out! I loved when Wren wrote the comment about her reputation in there!! That was funny!!! If anyone says anything bad about you, Sydney, Taylor, Erin, and I will take care of it!!! We all love you and hope you get better soon!!! See you in school tomorrow!!!!
~ Cassi
P.S. You can still play Volleyball, can’t you? Even if the doctor says you can’t, you will because I’ve seen you play and the team won’t be the same without you!!!!
You rock molly and i know youll be strong through this whole thing. I promise to visit you every day and i swear to be there when u get home from North Carolina
~Love u lots. Sabrina:)
People keep saying stuff about
volleyball? That doesn’t matter!
All that matters is that you will
be a-okay.
… 🙂
-Wren
P.S. My reputation thing wasn’t
supposed to be funny.
Its true.
Hi Molly,
“It’s the character that’s the strongest that God gives the most challenges too”.
We admire your strength and courage. The Stone family loves you and will be praying hard for you.

Hey Molly!!!
When do you leave for N.C.? Sorry i haven’t posted in a while our internet was down for a few weeks! Hey Taylor, We got back from Mackinaw last tuesday! I got some stuff from monkey business! Molly, I made a bag for you to bring when you leave for N.C. but i don’t know when to drop it off cause i don’t know when you are home? Well i am sort of bummed cause Hackett is going uniform when our class is Freshmen. This upcoming year, when Megan’ll be a freshman they have to wear ID tags, then when we are freshman, the next year, we have to wear uniforms. I don’t know if its official or anything but we got something in the mail about it from Hackett. They said it would make them closer to the other CSGK schools or something. Well any ways, i am so bored all summer cause i’m not doing anything this summer except going to my grandparents once a week. SO if you need anythiing just ask! Good luck!

Piper is doing great, she is sleeping at the moment, and she ate and she seems to be doing good! She doesn’t seem stressed at all and she is doing great with all of our dogs, and none of them seem to be jealous! Her ear seems to be fine right now, and she is very calm! She still likes my Dad, and Skyler still thinks that her name is “Hyper”, and again everything is great, and I hope that everyhting is great for you guys too! Molly good luck with your surgery, I know everything will be just fine, and that you will have a speedy recovery.

I am sure everything will go very well Molly! We have enjoyed sharing the jourmey with you on this blog – love the photos! We will see you aoon and we love you.
Gretchen and Cape Cod Crew.
Hi,
Glad to hear Molly is doing well. My son is 15 yrs and his paediatrician has referred him to have x-rays (taking him next week). He has had back pain for around 4 yrs since having an accident on his trampoline (he fell backwards though was not seriously injured at the time).
He wakes each morning and turns left and right and we hear his back clicking and popping – he feels he has to do this to alleviate the pain. He has also recently had physiotherapy but was just advised postural exercises. I am very fearful that he has Scheurmanns and the more I look at the curvature of his spine on standing up and bending, the more I feel he probably has it! He is autistic and both a brace and surgery would be a huge deal for him and cause him no end of distress.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed it’s good news after the x-ray. Will keep you posted.
Mandy and Mark, UK
Mandy and Mark,
I’m so sorry that it took me 6 months to see this post!!! How is your son doing now? Were your fears confirmed? Was it Scheurmann’s? My daughter has healed amazingly. She is now 17 and a cheerleader for her high school. She’s also a 3rd baseman for her high school softball team!
She looks and feels great now!
Keep me posted,
Lysanne
hi molly, i hope you have healed since this. i pray a hailmary for you everyday. heres santa— *<:)
You goof….I’m just seeing this now!!!
Love ya Wren,
Mommy Ryan
All the best of luck to you and your family
Kind regards annabel
Thank you Annabel,
My daughter has healed amazingly. She is now 17 and a cheerleader for her high school. She’s also a 3rd baseman for her high school softball team!
She looks and feels great now! The surgery was a life changer and a life saver. We were very blessed to have Dr. Hey and his team. Thank you for your kind thoughts.
Lysanne
