Welcome to our "Extended Family".  We have created this website to help parents gain a better understanding of Vertebral Body Stapling from our real life experiences.  There are many families here who are more than willing to share their experiences and open their hearts.  Many of us have in a very short time become more than just support ~ we've become a family.  Those of you who are new must know that our group started out as an on-line Yahoo Support Group that grew very very rapidly.

For securtiy of our children some of the pages on this website are password protected ~ if you are interested in becoming a member please email me Amanda, Maria, or Cara after a brief screening process access will be granted.

Again ~ welcome and we look forward to getting to know your family better.

Hugs ~ Maria, Cara & Amanda

P.S. Maria, Cara and I are real moms with real children who have scoliosis and have had Vertebral Body Stapling, we are not medical professionals.  This website has been developed purely for informational and support purposes.  Please seek the advise of a medical professional for an accurate diagnosis.
