It's May...

Well it's May now and the Surgery is approaching.  Halle is doing well, although she is starting to get nervous.  We know that she will be fine though and she has so much love and support!

My daughter Halle

I have decided to start this Blog for my daughter Halle.  She is 11 years old and has Scoliosis.  

Halle was first diagnosed at the age of 8.  She has been treated with 2 spinal braces, Spinecor Brace and Cheneau Brace.  Unfortunately the braces were unable to correct her curve and her spine got worse. 

On January 25th, Halle had her appointment at The Hospital for Sick Children with Dr. Zeller and we were told that her curve had progressed to 55+ degrees.   We were not expecting this news, so it was a real shock to us.  She will now have a Spinal Fusion on May 16, 2011.
