IMPORTANT
This guide has been created for those parents of children with scoliosis
who have already made the decision with their children (and based upon
your physician's guidance) to proceed with the surgery. The purpose of
this guide is not to advocate the surgery nor discuss alternatives, but
to simply provide parents with an account of our experience and tips that
might help make the hospital experience a little less traumatic.
My thanks go Michelle Spray and members of the CT Teen Chapter of the Scoliosis Association for the inspiration and help they provided in making this publication a reality!
