Holding at 30ish.

It's been 6 months since spring checkups at the specialists, so today was the first of the fall visits. Can't believe it's here already. Colin's ortho doctor said he is holding at 30ish degrees. He said it's all still a jumble, lots of hemis (hemivertebrae) and pieces. Like I was expecting the bones to have miraculously returned themselves to perfectly full and shaped vertebrae. Although I admit, I've had a dream or two that ended this way. But, he's been holding at 30ish for over a year now. Although that can change at any point. Nothing is predictable with congenital scoliosis and he again warned us of that. It could change drastically overnight. How is that possible? It just is. Growth spurt, compaction or fusion of bones, blah, blah, blah. So, I'll continue to live with my anxiety in this regard and he'll see us back in 6 months. He ended the visit with the following comment: "He's in good condition for the condition that he's in." True. True. and still pondering that. I hate this "condition" that he's in.
