The "Upper XRAY" of Alexis is showing that she has an upper curve with 24 degrees.  It is also showing that her shoulder blades are uneven quite a bit!

As you can also see, her head is not sitting on her spinal cord correctly.  It is tilted and slightly off to the side. 

The "Lower XRAY" of Alexis is showing the 2nd curve in her spinal cord.  It is also showing the spinal cord "Twisting"...like clockwise.  Obviously, that is not good!  :(

You can look at the XRAY's from 2008 and see that her head was actually sitting on her spine correctly at that time.   And now, it is tilting.  

We are "anxiously" waiting to get into to see Shriner's Children's Hospital in Spokane, WA!!! 
Alexis' Dr. referred her there.  Shriner's will only see Children with a 20 degree curve or higher.  

Our goal is to keep Alexis' spinal cord degree UNDER 40 degrees!  
Unfortunately, she has a lot of growing to do.
