Ryan is treated at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas, Texas. They are a world leader in the treatment for orthopedic conditions.
Quarterly we receive a little magazine, Rite Up, from the hospital about things that are going on there. Yesterday in the mail I received the Summer 2011 edition. And right on the front page was an article titled.....
TSRHC Points the Way to a Cure for Idiopathic Scoliosis
Praise the Lord!!! I was so excited to share I quickly got on the roof of our house and shouted to the neighborhood. Just kidding, but I did get on Facebook and spread the word. And on my Infantile Scoliosis support group!!!!!
You do not know what this means for future children who will be diagnosed. No, it will not really help Ryan much, but it gives me so much hope for the future.
I tried to find a link to share, but they have not put it up on their website. So I scanned it in order to share. Please read below!!!
This is BIG!!!!! It is HUGE! Such major research for this terrible condition!!
I am so excited about the research that is going on. And feel so blessed to be at this hospital!!!!
To think they are so close to finding a cure gives me chills.
Will you begin praying with me for this research team?
***Ryan Update-he will go on August 12th for a check-up and xray. We are most anxious for this visit after taking him out of the brace cold turkey! His back looks great, but only an xray tells the real truth. I'll keep you posted***

I was shaking reading this article and am typing through misty eyes!
You know I will be praying for this team and for Ryan.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as well--Drew will be returning to the specialist in late August/September. We hope no treatment will be necessary.
How wonderful to think that one day no family or sweet child will have to face this condition!
Awesome! Praying for the cure and for Ryan.
This article notes idiopathic scoliosis in school age children. That's a broad age range. I wonder if this research is pertinent to infantile scoliosis, adolescent scoliosis or scoliosis overall? I'd love to talk to this research team! I have a lot of questions! :)
