Trisha,

Scoliosis is part of the game.  I've had it for years and it's just
beginning to be a problem, so I wouldn't get too upset about it yet.  As
others have said, get second (third, fourth,....) opinions on the hip.  Bone
work on growing adolescents can be a sticky wicket.  But heck, you already
know this stuff.  What's Amber's read on the hip surgery deal?

Hi Guys,

orthpedist today - Amber does have to have hip surgery and has developed
scolosis - Amber is doing fine - I am in pieces!! Will tell you more
tomorrow when I can think again.
