St. Louis is the place many families go to for rhizotomies.  You might also
want to look up a Baclofen pump and weight the different results.  Pros and
cons.  Rhizotomies tend to grow back, pumps need tending to.  Are you
working with a therapist for gait training?

Subject: torsal rizotomy

I am looking for info again... on dorsal rizotomy.  Anyone know of a good
doctor or hospital in the Southeast?  Anyone have good and bad points?  I am
thinking about this again ... for my 9 year old.  I know she is a bit old
for this but she has over the last year just decided to want to walk.
Her legs are tight but not drawn in.

Thanks for any help.
