This is Lily's doctor in Salt Lake. His name is Dr. D'Astous and we owe everything to him!! He has treated our daughter Lily since Aug. of 2005. We have seen him every 3-4 months since then and have been lucky to have found him! He has changed Lily's life in ways we could not have imagined. Upon finding out she had infantile scoliosis and bi-lateral hip dysplaisia the outlook was not good. The doctors here in Oklahoma told us she would have to have major spine surgery sooner or later and this would be a life long battle. After long nights on the internet and lots of prayers hope was not far away. Dr. D'Astous was one of two doctors in the U.S. at the time that was trying a new approach to treating infantile scoliosis. It was fairly well known in Europe but finally brought to the States by an amazing young mother who would not take no for an answer. We have met her and she is wonderful!! We have been able to participate in some conferences nation wide to spread the good news of this treatment and are now happy to say there are around 12 doctors doing it today. Lily was in a total of 7 unique body casts helping her body derotate and learn to grow straight!! So far this has worked wonders for Lily and she is now considered to not have scoliosis! We are so excited to have avoided surgery and help spread the need for this casting procedure throughout the U.S. Dr. D'Astous is a wonderful and caring man. He is amazing with children and our family will be forever grateful for the blessings he has brought into our lives! Thanks Dr. D'Astous for giving Lily a happy and pain free life. We are forever grateful!!
