We knew something was up, as her posture just got worse over the past year despite orthotics and excercise. She's grown so fast, particularly in her torso, and that's why it became so pronounced over the past six months. I have a feeling it's going to be brace and/or surgery- the doc didn't even have to do anything beyond look at her to diagnose it. They only took one x-ray and from the looks on their faces it was obvious that it wasn't minor. One thing I am really worried about is Marfan's syndrome- we may be getting genetic tests done as she has several of the symptoms.
