we now have 3 opinions. they all feel that this has happened over time
and not from an acute trauma. they want it done sooner rather than later bc
we now know about it. only accidentally found out bc of ct scan done to
find source of an infection he was hospitalized for last week. glad we
know...kinda wish we didnt...
thanks for all of your advice.
best,
denise

Apparently you trust a physical brace to keep one alive
The child's situation in q is far more dangerous.
A brace will "control the surrounding neck bones IF the brace stays put.
Braces brake, braces eventually "give way"
The childs problem in INSIDE the neck.
Surgery MIGHT well be advised
Braces are not the entire answer in ALL cases
I admire your faith and trust in a brace but it MIGHT not be the answer if
a brace fails.
That's the risk w a brace and the risk of surgery is just as daunting
