Daughter Doing OK

My daughter had her bi-annual checkup with her orthopedic surgeon today. Everything is OK. The pain she was experiencing a couple of weeks ago hopefully can be attributed to doing crunches in her PE class. Overall, she's doing great. In fact, the curve in her spine is now at 67 degrees, down from 73 degrees 6 months ago. And, she's grown an inch. Her doctor thinks that because the front of her spine is still allowed to grow (whereas the back of the spine is fused), that her kyphosis should continue to improve with age. That's a good thing. We'll see. But otherwise, Hannah is doing great, and her doctor is very pleased. Hannah did ask if she could ever ride a horse. The doctor paused, with great consternation, but did agree to her request. Now, she wants to go to horse camp. I'm not so sure about that, but at least she could ride a horse if she wanted.
