Luella Goodall hasn't added a story.
My daughter Aliza was diagnosed with a severe case of Idiopathic
Scoliosis and Kyphosis In September 2014.... At that time we learned
that she had what was called double major curve scoliosis with her
curves measuring 40 and 48 degrees.
At her December Dr.
Appointment it revealed that she has progressed to three curves
(triple major curve scoliosis). Aliza has a 20 degree cervical curve,
56 thoracic curve, and a 52 degree lumbar curve. She has progressed
quite a bit and very quickly.
Update....
This fund Fundrazr was created to help with air fare and hotel accommodations for Aliza in order to travel to Philadelphia, PA to avoid a complete spinal fusion procedure. She is our 11 year old daughter who suffers from idiopathic scoliosis which curves well into her lower back and up into her neck, so the most common medical procedure that we have been recommended for locally is spinal fusion surgery. Fusion would immobilize her back and potentially create a lot of pain and need for additional procedures down the road. There is a much better option that only a handful of doctors perform call Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT). With this procedure, she would be able to maintain her range of motion and continue to live the rest of her life much more normally!
She has been accepted to Shriner’s Children’s hospital in Philadelphia and the doctor that has reviewed her case thinks she is a viable candidate for tethering or even partial so she can maintain some range of motion. We are asking for your help with her long (1,752 miles) journey. Flights are very costly from our local airport, so we are even traveling to Denver, CO just to get a more cost effective option at this time.
For more information on VBT and why it’s a better option than spinal fusion, please see the links below: http://www.spineandscoliosis.com/procedures/scoliosis-treatment/vertebral-body-tethering-vbt-a-less-invasive-scoliosis-treatment/
This is for any family and friends that want to help cover the out
of pocket travel and the upcoming hospital expenses that the Shriners
and health insurance does not cover.
I want to thank everyone
again for your continued support and prayers for my daughter and my
little family during this journey. Everything helps.
