Eli had an appointment for brace fitting. This is her 3rd one. She used to be wearing it all the time whenever she was in her wheelchair. Then, about two years ago, she started to show some discomforts in her brace. We asked ortho. Dr., and he told us Eli didn't need it, because brace was not really correcting Eli's scolliosis. WE kept Eli off the brace for a while. However, without a brace, her back and shoulders are bent inward so much, we felt it can affect her breathing. We decided to put Eli back in her brace. With the brace, Eli gets at least 3 inches taller in her wheelchair. She seemed very comfortable in it. We will try to keep it on her as long as Eli's comfortable.
