Casting Day-Part Two

Here is a picture of Maddie's X-Ray. She has an S-curved spine. Michael says she's as crooked as a politician. The next photo is her on the table where they pulled traction to get her spine as straight as possible before wrapping her in plaster. She was very brave and did not complain at all! The last photo shows the cast room techs holding her cast/mold which they will use to custom-fit her brace. The guys were so nice. Of course we took her out to lunch later that day. She started wearing her brace on April 1st. She will probably have to wear it for two years. She wears it 23 hours a day-only taking a break to shower and stretch. Praise God we have free medical care and Michael is usually able to take time off for her appointments.
