Last week we were in San Jose checking on my progress of wearing my corset for 6 hours a day. I sleep with it at night time. It really doesnt bother me. If it helps me to not get worse than I am happy to wear it. It had been nine months since I last saw Dr. Vargas. The appointment went really well I had not worn the corset for almost a month since my VNS surgery. We were hoping that did not change things too much. We were very happy to find out that my curve went from 75% to 30% ! Dr. Vargas said it no longer is scoliosis but a flexible spine, and he wants to see me again in October. We were all very happy with the news! Cinthya uses the corset on me when I get in my stander and also when working out together. It makes such a difference in the way that I sit in my chair. Besides seeing Dr. Vargas we also went by to see Guiselle my orthopedic therapist and she adjusted my wheelchair for me. She says I am growing like a weed! Starberri got to everywhere with us, she is such a good dog and really is well behaved! We had a good trip with no hiccups! Love Malia
