TLSO

Thoraco-Lumbo-Sacral Orthosis or TLSO or back brace. Christina needs to wear hers most of the day.

This clip states it well:
Scoliosis TLSO: A custom total contact plastic body jacket that holds the scoliotic spine (a spine with at least one lateral curve) in as straight a position as possible. If worn tight and at least 22 hours per day, the risk of curve(s) progression is greatly reduced

We started building up to all day. After a recent appointment to have it checked, the TLSO needed to be adjusted for our Princess Christina. There was enough of change to start over on building up to all day. Christina will need to wear the back brace all day including bedtime. I feel so bad for Christina.

Therapy

Christina is doing well at therapy. She has Physical Therapy every weekday. Occupational and Speech Therapy each once a week.

School is in full swing and a routine is close to set. Christina also has therapy at school.

Like most other differently-abled children, Christina has a busy schedule.

She also works harder than most others I know.

Long Time

It has been a long time since updated the blog. Again, my apologies. I have meant to post this quite some time ago.

Having been in the hospital for so long and this stay was quite different from the others, I find myself running ideas for future stays through my head.

The common question since returning is "How is Christina doing?". The simple answer is "She is doing well." The best answer would be "I do not know."

I got the email inbox down to less than 20 emails that I need to reply/check out etc.

Good feeling.

It is cool outside and windy. Not a bad thing since I am not wanting to do any work outside. Although I do need to pick up a few things in the garage.

Ready for coffee. May everyone have a wonderful rest of the day.

The UCP Walk in the Park was great. There was a nice turnout and the weather cooperated. A little chilly in the morning, but the sun came out and the day warmed up.

A big thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors.
