Subject: Many Thanks
Dear Dr. Hey,
Our family wanted to send a note of gratitude to you and your staff. To refresh your memory, you saw our daughter, Ashley, in clinic on Wednesday, August 6, 2008. Ashley had been diagnosed with Scheuermann's kyphosis on July 3. After receiving a month of physical therapy, it was being recommended that possibly brace fitting would be a good next alternative for treatment. Outside of the research which we had performed on our own, we still had very little information from her physician; and, in fact, we had not even been told the degree of her kyphosis. After 5 weeks of uncertainty, worrying, praying, turning it over to God, taking it back (the mother in me), I decided that the overwhelming tug on my heart telling me I needed to pursue this in a different direction, was my answer from God. He was just waiting for us to take the next step. Thus, we embarked on our journey to find a physician who dealt only with the spine, preferably spinal deformities. Working with medical professionals on a daily basis, I began asking respected physicians for leads. To make a long story short, with my probbing and the help of the wonderful world-wide web, I found the Hey Clinic. Talk about an answer to prayer!!!
On August 6, 2008, we were scheduled to see your P.A., Brittany. After
Dr. Hey, if we have any advice to offer other parents or adults with this disorder, scoliosis, or even other spinal problems, don't just sit around in uncertainty as we did for too long, and especially not if they are suffering. If folks feel uncomfortable with information or treatment they are being given, or lack thereof, I would recommend they call your office and see if their problem fits within the scope of your practice and schedule an appointment with your clinic. We are so grateful to you and are so relieved just to have it thoroughly explained, our questions answered, and know what our options are for the future. You truly have been given a wonderful gift, and I am thankful that you have been obedient to God's calling for your life! When you told us to stop worrying and turn it over to you guys, I knew this was God speaking to me, through you, and saying to me, "Will you give it to me now, Mom?"
We are truly thankful our paths crossed!!
Until December....
The T_______’s
Johnny, Crystal & Ashley Brooke
