Before her appointment Ben and I took bets on what kind of progress we thought we would see in her spine. We both thought there would be improvement of about 10%. Boy were we wrong. I knew it had improved, I could tell by way her shirts were fitting. With her shoulders being different heights, it made the neckline of her shirts hang funny. Anyway....
Her curve went from a 37% curvature down to 18%. And the even better news is that the doctor said it may improve even more. We will check her again in another 6 months. I can't tell you what a roller coaster this whole experience has been. It was a difficult decision to send a seemingly normal child in for brain surgery. But in the end everything has turned out better than I imagined.

Thanks for the update. I am just a lurker, and a friend of Brianne's. My son is 2 and has a Chairi. It is reassuring to me to see your daughter doing so well with all of this! It gives me hope! Thanks so much!
