The medical advancements are huge, were they in my peer group they likely wouldn't be walking, my parents' they may not have survived birth. Their spinal 'defect' was open and the cord was visible to the naked eye, had it not been detected in utero and a c-section planned who knows how normal birth would have gone. Post immediate neuro and plastic surgery at birth to enclose everything there was a finger sized lump on their tiny baby back. Now at 8, yesterday, it's just a gnarly mostly flat scar that's less and less prominent as they get bigger.TigerWolfe ; sorry to hear that mate, things affect us double when it is whit our children, In my case a light lumbar scolosis to the right remained, I have to make special Back exercises,(they become a rutine troughout the years)
to live whitout any troubles or pain.
I was lucky that it got diagnosed early in my prepuberty and happend to be in Germany at that time, so I was signed up to a "fisio summer camp" from my therapists, (the back therapy i refered) It was a great expierece, and there were may kids with the same issue or similar and we all learned how to cope with it.
I could never do medicine, but those people are amazing.
