Spread Angel


Today's Topic:
The Body

My daughter has scoliosis
She has had scoliosis since she was 5 1/2 years old
She is now 14 years old

She has worn a TLSO 18-23 hours a day, every single day

A TLSO is a Thoracic-Lumbar Scoliosis Orthotic
Basically, a body brace

She has achieved amazing correction 
and has thus far avoided surgery

She has had about 12 different body braces in her lifetime so far

 Stop and Think About This

Can you imagine being in a body brace for 9 years of your life?
From kindergarten through high school

Don't take your straight spine for granted!

This Mosaic Spread Angel adorns Darlene Graeser's Master Bathroom
She's straight
But made of broken mosaic tile pieces

But she's an angel in high heels

Is that how my daughter is? 

Comments always welcome.
