Montreal Trip

As parent, you want to do the best thing possible for your child and hope that you are making the right decision.  It's frustrating... and I don't think these decisions will ever get easier. 

It's been two weeks since our trip to Montreal and it hasn't been easy to put how our trip was into words.  What I can say is that we have found out more information about Jessica's back.  The doctor's at Shriner's Hospital were fantastic.  We were origianlly booked into the CP clinic and the doctor there thought we should see their Neuromuscular Surgeon.   He took us in immediately and took time away from his patients to explain in detail the problems with Jessica's back.  He is concerned about how much the curve progressed over the last two years and feels her back is in "big trouble".  One thing is for sure...It's not going to get better.  He wants her to get an MRI of her back so that he gets a better picture on what's going on.  Once we get this, I'm hoping I can explain things a bit better which may also make our decsion a lot easier.

Thanks again to the Huntsville Shriner's who were instrumental in helping us get to Montreal to see their amazing doctors.  I can't say thank you enough...
