Infantile Scoliosis Info Video

Here's a quick little video featuring Peter Gallagher on what we're dealing with. It also gives an idea of what PJ will be rockin' in the next year or so, if they decide to cast/brace him ;) The casts are "waterproofed" with duct tape- sooooo we will be gratefully accepting really cool patterned duct tape donations! LOL Grumpy (my grandfather) is looking down from Heaven and smiling :) He was a firm believer that duct tape can fix just about anything/everything. Turns out, he just may have been right! We'll be posting more educational info in addition to our updates. As with anything, education, research and raising awareness are crucial in curing and preventing disorders. Infantile scoliosis is NOT common, contrary to popular belief. Infants are not screened for it- it's something only checked if a parent or doctor notices something "off". Raising awareness may help infants affected, be diagnosed earlier, leading to better outcomes! Click here for an informative guide created by the Infantile Scoliosis Outreach Program for parents as well as pediatricians about simple ways to screen your little ones.
