Well first the good news..... well sort of....... Her hips are fine but he said that if it hurts her to stand then don't make her stand. So I asked him how she would ever learn to walk if she never stands and he said "she won't" and that at this point with as low as her tone is that the chance of her walking is slim even with hers standing.

Now for the bad news.... Her spine has gone from a 30 degree curve to a 52 degree curve and he is refering us to a spine specialist. He said that they usually like to wait until these kids are 10 years old to do this surgery and he thinks the only thing we can do to keep her from needing surgery before that point is to put her in a brace. I am so worried and now in searious need of doing some research to find out what lies ahead of us so that when we go for this appt with the specialist I will know what he's talking about and there won't be to many suprises.

Here is the x-ray he did of her spine.
