These x-rays show somewhat the difference that the veptr is already providing. At the very least, you can see the two titanium rods directly screwed or bolted to her spine and ribs, which makes just now think, Maria better take the x-ray with her upon checking in at the airport next month going to Boston.Anyway, you can follow the spine in both and see a contrast.
At this point, Emily is suffering a lot of pain in her right arm due to the surgeons having to literally remove her scapula to insert the outer brace. She's prescribed pain medicine every 4 hours. Otherwise, she's walking around, getting in and out of chairs...slowly.
It is important to report that these braces have added a full inch to her height. She's now at 35 1/2". This still puts her at about 3-4 inches under average height for her age.

It's wonderful that the rods are making such a difference. We continue to pray for Emily!
