Hailie's Back

Hailie is a six-year old little girl who is experiencing some vertabrae slippage. It causes some serious back pain. I received this email from her mother, Dana, today:

hey just want to let everyone know hailie got her back brace yesterday. because she is so petite that had to special order the brace. and even yesterday they had to do alterations. at first she was excited but they having to be in it she started to grow tired of it quickly. the brace goes from the bottom of her ribs to her pelvic bone. it is so material and has a cast insert to go into a back panel. so i know that i will need to really push her to wear it as much as possible. i do not want to "threaten" her with the surgery. but i know i do not want that either. i really do hope the brace will stop the vertabrae from slipping any more. well, i hope all is well with everyone. take care. dana, hailie and stevie
