Hi Barbara,
Welcome to the group.

It is good they have found it fairly early, the earlier it is found
the better and more chance of success. My daughter was diagnosed at
7 months and has had 2 ops. We are currantly waiting to see the
consultant to see what the next plann of action is. Sophie is now 3.

I also have another daughter Amy (who's the same age as your
daughter) she was given the all clear at her last scan but we have
an oppointment to see the consultant next week just to make sure.

Parenting isn't easy but we get though it. I think as parents we do
all the worrying and the kids always show us they can get though it.

Good luck, hope the brace works
All the best
Leanne

at least 3 months. I know we're lucky that they seem to have caught
it early (she's 4 months), but still can't believe how little
information and support was offered at the hospital! Thank goodness
for you guys!

they've got to caveat everything, but does anyone have any
information about likelihoods of success (eg what % children are
healed following harness/cast/surgery).

thoughts are with the rest of you, waiting either for treatment to
end or to see what happens next. Noone tells you how hard parenthood
can be, do they?! (Or is it more that they do tell you, you just
don't listen cos 'it'll never happen to us'?!)
