They've got my back!

Shortly after Allie was diagnosed with scoliosis we started seeing a chiropractor, Danielle Rice. She is a great person and friend. She has been so encouraging through the years and has helped to keep Allie's head on straight!

Another group that we are really excited about being a part of is Curvy Girls. It is a peer-led support group that we found out about in February. It is an international support group and the Columbus group had their first meeting at the end of February. The leaders, Kiki and Alyse, have both been through the scoliosis surgery. At the March meeting we got to tour Nationwide Children's Hospital where Allie will have her surgery. We saw the surgery waiting and pre-op areas as well as one of the patient rooms. At the April meeting, Allie and I got to share about our trip to Wisconsin and the Schroth physical therapy. Kiki brought in the brace that she wore before surgery. Another girl in the group is Payton. She has scoliosis and is also a candidate for surgery. It has been great to be a part of this group and to know that we aren't alone. The Curvy Girls and Curvy Parents are definitely counted among our blessings!
