Today I took Marian to have x-rays done of her spine. Her pediatrician, Dr. Barnwell, suspected scoliosis a while back and sent us for x-rays, but they came back inconclusive. Well, her back started hurting more and more frequently, so he sent us back for more x-rays. Sure enough, her curve has grown and now I am almost positive that he's going to say she has scoliosis.
Here is the x-ray of her standing straight up...
There is no denying a curvature in her spine now. It's definitely there. I don't even know what this means really as far as what we do about it, treatments, braces, etc. I am saving my freak out until I talk to Dr. Barnwell.
