That sounds awesome. I looked it up and found info about one in my area (AL). I'd love to participate next year. My son is 6 and has bilateral atresia and wears the BAHA attached to his cap. He has had it since he was about 4 mos old. He has 18q- syndrome. I would also like to know who did the surgery for Mattie and what kind of experience you had. If you could send me an email about this that would be wonderful! Shelly,

I had never heard of it before you started these posts in your blog. I went to their web site, but I couldn't quite figure out how it works. Is this like a "club" where you become a member? Is "Wordless Wednesday" also a part of this? I don't think there is anything like this in the German speaking web communities. At least I haven't heard of anything like it. Have a great day!

She had surgery to correct it 5 years ago. They used a piece of hip bone, a metal plate, and 6 screws to fuse her neck. We travel a couple of times a year to Philadelphia to see Dr. Betz at the Shriner's hospital. I am not sure what your situation is, but surgery in the neck is a possibility. I would be happy to talk to you about it more. Shelly Hello Vicki,

My son has congenital scoliosis in his upper thoracic and cervial spine. He has quite the head tilt due to the scoliosis which was at first thought to just be torticollis. I am still in the stages of some preliminary testing however what I have learned so far is it is too risky to do any surgery with it being in his neck. Could you provide any further information as far as your daughter's surgery? Thank you so much! HI, Thanks for posting! My son has congenital scoliosis in his upper thoracic and cervial spine.
