Aiyana Scoliosis Fund

Dear friends and family, our daughter Aiyana was just recently diagnosed with Adolescent Idopathic Scoliosis. Scoliosis effects 2-3% of the population, approx. 6-9 million kids in the USA. Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine, and it rapidly worsens with the child's growth spurts. The faster the child grows the faster the scoliosis can get worse.She is already tall and growing alot right now. If Aiyana does not get the treatment immediately she could face Lung and heart damage, chronic life long back pain, possible surgery which could lead to her not being able to bend, twist normally, permanent disability. Aiyana has been very blessed to find out of her scoliosis, because there is time to intervene. She is in a phase where we can help her. However time is of the essence, Aiyana is in the last growing spurt and needs intervention now. Unfortunately, Kaiser insurance does not cover the treatment and the equipment and so that's why we need help because the cost of the brace and the special chair that will straighten her spine out and correct her spine is also very expensive (@$10k) not to mention the very high cost of the weekly treatment M-F for 8 hrs for 3 weeks then quarterly weekly stays for two years at the facility which unfortunately is only in one location in Campbell California...(@$25k more) the way we first found out was that Aiyana was with her friend at the lake in a bathing suit, and her friends mom noticed that Aiyanas spine was curved. Her friends mom had a son with severe scoliosis so she was able to recognize it. Aiyana was also complaining of back pain. So we took her to Kaiser to see her primary doctor which ordered an xray the same day, which confirmed that she definitely has an abnormal curvature in her spine. We were then referred to a orthopaedic specialist who confirmed and diagnosed her with Scoliosis. The Kaiser Specialists told us that they know nothing more than they did 60 years ago and that there really is nothing that can be done except wait  until it gets really bad and then surgery and then again surgery is not guaranteed and neither are the braces which they  recommended but said would have little if no effect on correcting her spine ...We were scared, sad and desperate. We wanted to do everything possible to help our young active full of life daughter. I can say I have never felt so desperate in my whole life. luckily through Facebook  Aiyana's father Lino,  met  a family whose daughter is going  through the same treatment and she is responding very very well and her curvature is significantly worse than Aiyana's... so the place they referred is a Non-Surgical Scoliosis Treatment - Scoliosis Care Centers in Campbell, CA https://scoliosiscarecenters.com/ 256 E Hamilton Ave F, Campbell, CA 95008 http://scoliosiscarecenters.com/scoliosis-videos/https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WaNHw_5zyRQ&feature=youtu.be They have a 95% success rate and their understanding and ability to not only understand what scoliosis is and how to correct it is really quite simple please check out the videos and spread the word!
