The scoliosis casts are put on under a general anaesthetic in order that they can be done using traction...I think the patient gets pulled round a fair amount in the process. The first time Frankie had this procedure she needed her lungs suctioning while she was under anaesthetic.

| This cast was put on in June and only lasted about 6 weeks before she needed a new one. |

| Even Sniffy got a cast put on that day. |
We customised the second cast with some bandages...a much happier little girl! Frankie had this one on for about 3 months and it was cracked open a little earlier than it would have been due to her having a collapsed lung.
