<t>Hope all went well with your appointment. My daughter is 9 1/2 now and up until now has had her surgeries done in Texas.

<t>my daughter is 8 and just had the Triangle Tilt done last week. With the new SARO brace he is using, we did not have to do much modification to her shirts.

Hi, I am Annette and my husband is Matt.
We have a daughter, Peyton, who is 6 years old and is just finishing up kindergarten. She has a LOBPI. We also have 2 sons, Mitchell (3 years old) and Owen (10 months old).

My daughter, Peyton was 5 years old at the time of her triangle tilt. We didn't know what to expect before surgery, so we just used bigger shirts, cut the seam up from the waist, then tied the ends in a knot while we were down there. When we got home, we used velcro to hold the shirt together.

<r>Amy - My daughter Peyton started riding on the smallest bike available with training wheels and had balance issues as well as trouble with steering. We ended up adjusting her training wheels so that the one was higher then the other one to compensate for it. As she got better on the bike, we slow...
