Not better but NO WORSE





Trey's appointment with his Arizona pediatric orthopedic was yesterday. This appointment was to check the curvature of Trey's spine to be sure that the percentage of the curve has not gotten worse with the growth hormone. Dr. White discussed with us that although he didn't believe that Trey's spine could improve due to the fact that Trey is missing the front part of his vertebrae at the portion of the curve/protrusion/kyphosis, we can stabilize it. We were told that Trey's spine is no worse than the x-rays from March showed. Mike and I believe that building the muscle around the spine has been a huge factor in stabilizing Trey's spine and thus allowing us to continue with the growth hormone. This news was very encouraging to us and gave us the incentive to keep plugging away at all the physical therapy we have Trey doing because if it's no worse, we are doing something right. p.s. Trey was in his glory when they had us wait in a room full of sports posters of his "Cardinal Birdies", was a pro when he went to take his x-rays and was a goof ball with Dr. White!
