-- Hilary's Medical Situation --

November 14, 2005 (B)

Connie took Hilary to see the orthopedic surgeon today to evaluate her back brace / scoliosis. Dr. Greenfield took more x-rays of the spine with the brace on and was extremely pleased with the degree of correction he saw with the brace. He said the top curvature was corrected from 20% to 11-12% and the lower curvature from 18% to 10-11%. He feels the brace is doing its’ job (some GOOD news, finally) and said he would be following along with serial x-rays from time to time. Meanwhile, Hilary continues to increase her brace wearing time each day, also sleeping in it. What a champ, huh?
