We had the 3-month follow up today and the x-ray shows improvement, but it’s not all healed.  The doctor is very happy with the progress and advised us to continue with what we’re doing, not allowing the boy wonder to sit.  We’ll check again in 4 months, and it sounds like we’ll keep on with this until at some point, if there’s not enough improvement, the MRI and surgery (to fuse the vertebrae) will be something to consider.  For now, we’re staying with the non-invasive course.

Anyhow, we’re happy that there’s improvement.  I was hoping for a fully developed bone, but at least things are going in the right direction.

I’d love to post new pictures, but I’m so full up with work that I can barely spare a minute.  Maybe in September.

I have been obsessively checking all day for an update. This is good news! I’m glad there’s progress! I will hope that there is even more improvement in 4 months!

Glad that the news is good. I’ve been wondering where you’ve been!

Aunty Evil Says:

Yay! Glad for an update. I’m not at all obsessive, so don’t worry that I sit here refreshing the page for hours at a time. I just have a ticky finger, that’s all…

SOOOO glad your boy is improving. Keep up the good work, I am sure it must be very hard for you to be vigilant not to let him sit, and for him to tolerate being put on his back or belly. It will be so worth it though!

I’m glad that although the news isn’t as good as you had hoped, that it is in the right direction. Keep up the faith and the good work! I hope it’s not too hard on the little fella to not be allowed to sit.

Actually, this is really good news. It will just take more time. And in a coupla years, will you remember this angst? Well yes, you will! But you will be happy and un-angsty by then.
