Body Brace

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

We went to Ortho Frey in Pasig to ask any recommendation for Andrea's body brace. But as they see her spinal x-ray, they concluded that bracing is not an option for her right now unless after spinal surgery. Her spinal curve is already at 80 degrees and braces are only recommended if the curve is around 50 degrees. To cut the story short, body brace won't help my Andrea.

On the other hand, when I saw a sample brace, I was relieved that she's not going to wear one. Seeing her on that brace would only make her very uncomfortable. She only have limited movements now due to her paralyzed lower extremities. And this would only aggravate the situation.

I don't know now what will happen next. We don't want her to go through any surgery right now. Hopefully this aqua therapy would ease any pressure on her back. Still praying for what's best for her.

Lord, please be our guide. We know we're on a crossroad right now. We do not know what to do next. Please help us do the right thing and lead us to the right path. Let your will be done, Lord.  
By the way, thank You for easing the pain. Thank you for always being there. I love you! We love you so much!
