It was custom developed by an outfit in Boston and rushed to CHOP. It is made of plastic and fits his chest and back in a fashion very similar to the armor worn by the knights of old. I will add a picture of it shortly. News - Latest Sun, 13 Jan 2008 09:46:03 +0100 http://lds-syndrome.net/content/view/63/2/ Mike goes to regular room. Mike moved out of the intensive care ward of Childrens Hospital yesterday in the afternoon. This was a major step in his recovery as he can now get a good nights sleep and will be able to start slowly moving from bed to chair.

His curvature had progressed to 130 degrees which was causing problems with breathing and pain. Although his surgery was somewhat delayed by his need for heart surgery (see other articles) we remained hopeful that the doctors would be able to gain a fair amount of correction. The surgery started at 8:00 am and took all day with Michael not getting in to recovery until 7:30 that night. His face was bloated (from the long time in the surgery) but otherwise was in excellent shape. We were estatic at the amount of correction that the surgeon (Dr. Dorman) was able to achieve. His curvature was reduced from 130 degrees to 30 degrees W O W News - Latest Sun, 13 Jan 2008 07:47:39 +0100 http://lds-syndrome.net/content/view/56/2/ LDS - Info is back. After a several month hiatus caused by such things as lack of response by host provider to support problems, lack of time due to work, and good old summer laziness we where basically up and down (with down being the majority). Well after a lot of work i have moved the site to a new provider (BLueHost) for less money, more capacity, more software capability and better response time. But Most Important the new provider has a much more effective support team. More on that later. it's good to be back. al News - Latest Tue, 16 Oct 2007 21:13:26 +0100
