Taylin's Twisted Tale - Scoliosis Journey
Donation protected
The sun was shining on February 24th 2009 when little miss Taylin Alice Marie Scheers was born her big hazel eyes were impossible not to fall in love with. Mom Tanya and dad Jeremy were buzzing with excitement at the arrival of their healthy beautiful new baby girl. Taylin was and to this day is the centre of their universe. As a little girl she was happy, playful and very adventurous. She loved to try new things and her parents kept her busy. She played baseball and was in tap class. She was mommy best friend and had daddy wrapped around her finger.
Fast forward to the summer of 2018 where Taylin is now a very active 9 year old, a big sister to younger brother Jager, a dedicated girl guide and a straight A student. She is playing soccer and dancing hip hop and Jazz two nights a week. She loves to go camping and hiking with her family.
Unknowingly this is the summer this whole journey began. Taylin began having trouble with her knees. She would be left limping after any of her favourite activities. Her parents noticed the changes, and Taylin mentioned the uncomfortableness but she pushed through. She was never one to complain, Taylin was a tough cookie.
Time kept moving and in December of 2018 Taylin started to complain of back pain. She had always had big growth spurts, her parents thinking the pain could be a result of that, they purchased her a new mattress. It did seem to bring relief at first but then the pain persisted and she began to struggle during dance class however she insisted that she could do it.
Over the next four months Taylin and her parents tried to manage her pain however they could. Light exercise, proper rest, good nutrition, adequate hydration and an overall healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately that just wasn’t cutting it, and in April 2019 mom Tanya decided that chopping this all up with growing pains and saying Taylin would be fine just wasn’t enough. Her mothers intuition was right, upon an at home examination Tanya was able to see that Taylin had a very noticeable curve in her back. They called the doctor immediately and after receiving X-Rays Taylin was diagnosed with Idiopathic Thoracolumbar Scoliosis convex to the right with 23 degrees of curvature which is considered to be mild/moderate .
Idiopathic scoliosis is one of three different types of scoliosis that cause the spine to develop an abnormal curve. “Idiopathic” means there is no definite cause. Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common type of scoliosis. With Thoracolumbar scoliosis, the curve includes vertebrae from both the lower thoracic and upper lumbar parts of the spine.
Her diagnosed came as a shock and a small sense of relief as to why she had been suffering all this pain.
In June 2019 Taylin was referred to an Orthopaedic surgeon, who preformed more X rays and the results presented as Dextroconvex Thoracolumbar Scoliosis. Measuring at 25 degrees in curvature. Dextroconvex scoliosis is characterized by an S-like curvature of the spine, specifically in the lumbar (middle) region. The Surgeon recommended bracing for Taylin at this time. However there was no mention of the S curve. Her parents made the necessary arrangements for her to be fitted for a brace and Taylin was instructed to wear it 20 hours a day.
In July 2019 only one month after wearing the brace the X rays were showing some improvement. She was measuring at 20 degrees from end plate T4 to L1. Her parents asked about physiotherapy however the doctors did not recommended it. No real care plan other than the bracing was discussed which left Taylin’s family both confused and discouraged. They were grateful for the slight improvement in her curvature however wanted to be on top of any continuing treatment for her condition.
Because Taylin’s parents were keen on diving deeper into her treatment options, Jeremy took the opportunity through his extended health benefits at work to have an independent report done by other leading doctors in the field and it was highly recommended that further testing including an MRI be performed as several factors can cause scoliosis including other medical issues. When Taylin’s parents asked the orthopedists office to review Taylin’s case and to have more test performed they were told that’s not something they do there.
The summer brought on new challenges, Taylin continued to suffer from the physical pain as well as the emotional pain. She always put on a brave face, and did not let on to just how much it was bringing her down. The family had hoped that the brace would keep the curve from progressing, and that they would continue to receive results like the last X ray. After a family meeting it was decided that Taylin would take a break from her regular activities including hiking which was a family favourite. In an effort to not leave Taylin behind her family had to slow down which's in turn affected them all. Taylin had to learn to cope with the new way of life. She had a new found love for art and was creating beautiful drawings as well as painting. She was able to really uncover her creativity within and shocked us all with yet another talent. She seemed to find momentary peace when she opened her sketch book, and was able to illustrate her story through her drawings.
By the fall Tanya and Jeremy both noticed changes in Taylin’s spine, it seemed to now have developed a rotation. They were unsatisfied with the previous and ongoing treatments. They continued to regularly research alternatives to bring their daughter any form of comfort. Taylin’s positive attitude and sense of humour was the only thing getting her through the days.
She started to see a Schroth therapist, she as happy doing the exercises but as they became more intense she just couldn’t bare the pain they caused her. The Schroth method is a nonsurgical option for scoliosis treatment. It uses exercises customized for each patient to return the curved spine to a more natural position. The goal of Schroth exercises is to de-rotate, elongate and stabilize the spine in a three-dimensional plane.
On top of everything she was already dealing with Taylin had started at a new middle school, she was struggling to manage her pain during class, to fit in with her peers and struggling with her grades. Walking to and from school was becoming increasingly challenging. She was hardly sleeping at night and was in constant pain to the point where she could hardly stand anything or anyone touching her back. It was clear things were getting worse so mom and dad made another appointment with the Orthopedists.
In Dec 2019 further X-rays were taken and the S- Curve was mentioned however Taylin and her parents were still unclear on the severity of that measurement because in previous visits to the Orthopedist it was never really made clear. This time they made sure to ask for clarification on the two separate curvature measurements. The doctor gave them both degrees and sadly Taylin’s curve had progressed. The X-ray reports showed that the Dextroconvex Thoracic curve was measuring 33 degree at the T5 & T11. The Levoconvex Lumbar was measuring 21 degrees at the T-12 & L4 During this visit they also mentioned that her knees were continuing to bother her and the response from the doctor was that it was normal for a growing girl her age and that she could strengthen them. For pain management the only recommendation was physiotherapy and Advil.
In the meantime Taylin returned to the orthotists to have her brace reassessed and finally an MRI was booked for June 2020. Taylin was extremely uncomfortable in her brace, it seemed as though it hardly fit at all or made a difference however the orthotist said it was fine and made minor adjustments. It was hard to remain positive about the brace with the progression of the curvature and all the pain she was but she pushed through.
At this point Tanya and Jeremy both agreed that they were dissatisfied with the treatment their daughter was receiving. The doctor was not listening to Taylin when she was trying to explain her symptoms and he provided no real treatment or support of any kind. He wasn’t even open to discussing other treatment methods with the family. Tanya had been researching everything and anything that could help her little girl , and when she would try to discuss options at the appointments she was often shut down. If surgery was needed to help Taylin they wanted options and to feel supported in the planning of such a major operation. In January 2020 They decided to take matters into their own hands. They searched for a second opinion and for someone who was more open minded and supportive. Through the efforts of social networking Tanya and Jermey were able to discover the Shriners Hospital for Children. They were providing amazing advanced and innovative scoliosis and spine care to children all over North America. They believe each child deserves an individualized treatment plan and they use an inclusive approach to care, which is what Taylin and her parents were in need of. Taylin was happily accepted as a patient at the Montreal Shriners Hospital for children and an appointment was made for Feb 2020.
Taylin and Tanya were off to Montreal full of excitement. The family was so grateful and full of hope for positive results as they had been researching all of the amazing doctors specializing in Scoliosis and spinal conditions.When Taylin arrived she was examined by a leading team of doctors who all took each step and every symptom very seriously. They asked lots of questions and they listened to everything Taylin and Tanya had to say. It was more care planning and treatment than she has received in the entire previous year in Calgary. The doctors in Montreal couldn’t believe that she was still wearing the brace when it so clearly was adding to her pain and discomfort. While in Montreal they performed more X-rays and the doctors were shocked at how fast her curvature had progressed. The doctors agreed that they needed to dig deeper. They booked an MRI for March 2020 and a new set of braces were made. They even made her one just for night time to help her get a better nights rest.
Taylin and Tanya came home with a sense of accomplishment. They felt like they really made progress with Taylin diagnosis and they had hope for the future with the new doctors, new braces and the new course of treatment. In February 2020 Taylin had another X-Ray to determine the curvature progression and it had in fact progressed again this time the results showed 49 degree right thoracic curve and 28 degrees left lumbar curve. At this point Taylin was now a candidate for surgery. The family had researched different surgery options and had also discussed with the doctors in Montreal about the best approach for Taylin’s unique situation. They had all decided that Vertebral Body Tethering ( VBT) was her best option. This technique places a compressive force (screws) over the convex side of the spine (slowing down growth) to permit the concave side of the spine to relatively grow more and create a straighter spine. Taylin had to prepare herself in a hurry for not only the everyday pressures of being an adolescent girl but now to face one of the biggest obstacles of her life. Her family has been by her side every step of the way at this point holding her hand when it gets scary and wiping her tears when they start to come down. Having spinal surgery at such a young age is incredibly hard to go through on many different levels. Physically, mentally and emotionally. But has I have previously mentioned she faced it like the monster it was and was ready for the next steps.
In March 2020 just two days before Taylin and Tanya were scheduled to fly back to Montreal for her MRI - the dreaded COVID 19 had also progressed and caused all appointments and flights to be cancelled. The entire family was at a loss. Just when they thought they finally were getting ahead of the game, fate takes control and brings this beautiful girls hopes crashing down. While in Quebec Taylin was supposed to meet with her surgeon, have her MRI performed and pick up her new back braces. The only thing they could do at this point was to Isolate and wait out the Covid 19 restrictions. Over the next few weeks they were able to receive the braces via Canada Post. Unfortunately they were lost in the mail, and this sent Tanya and Jeremy on the hunt across the city of Calgary to thankfully locate them. Once they had them Taylin was able to do her fittings via FaceTime with the Orthotists in Montreal. After all the back and forth with shipping, it had been 4 weeks since she had been in her brace, and it was like starting from square one. They were uncomfortable and took a lot of getting used to.
In May 2020 it had been 15 months since Taylin was told she had Idiopatic Thorocolumbar Scoliosis. Her curvature had been quickly progressing, the rotation had also been progressing and she felt very defeated. She felt like she had faced so much already, and that her body was just in constant battle with her mind. Her parents had noticed she’d been over exerting herself, trying to stay strong and positive. She had faced many up and downs but nothing was going to compare to what was next for this young fighter.
On May 24th 2020 Taylin was having trouble walking, by the end of that day her left leg was not responding, and she could not move it at all. Tanya and Jeremy rushed her to emergency. Tanya’s mama bear instincts kick in and she refused to leave the hospital without an MRI and course of treatment. Her baby was scheduled by leading surgeons to have an MRI in March which she was denied because on the pandemic. But from that moment moving forward Tanya and Jeremy knew she needed one ASAP. They were sent home for the evening, and scheduled to return for an emergency MRI in the morning.
The Scheers family returned the following day, brave Taylin got her MRI finally and the news is the most heart wrenching and devastating news of all. Taylin has a large tumour growing inside her brainstem down into her spine causing damage to her central nervous system. The doctors determine it is a Pilocytic Astrocytoma, it is a benign brain tumour that arises from astrocytes, the supportive cells in the nervous system. The good news is that they now know the cause of Taylin’s scoliosis, the bad news is the surgery is very invasive. This will be life altering for this young girl.
Taylin was immediately admitted and monitored for a few days before she was scheduled for the surgery. The doctors performed her surgery at the Alberta Children’s Hospital. The surgery was roughly 6 hours long, and they were able to resect the entire tumour very carefully by peeling it away from her spine. After surgery she was in ICU under close watch for several days, 2 of which she was on a ventilator for assisted breathing. At this point in time there is no way to determine the amount of nerve damage this has caused her. She is still currently in the hospital being treated for a spinal cord injury. She has no movement or sensation below the waist. This bright young, amazing, tenacious beautiful girl is now confined to a bed, and a wheel chair. Just over a year ago she was dancing, hiking, biking and running free and now she is up against the fight of her life to regain any strength in her legs. She is determined to walk again and that powerhouse little girl is still as positive now as she was on day one.
Currently Jeremy is still working very limited hours to make ends meet, Tanya is with Taylin daily at the hospital and little brother Jager has been staying with family. They are facing many uphill battles over the next few months. This family is the epitome of strength even in the darkest of days and a global pandemic they have remained united. Utilizing FaceTime daily they have been able to maintain communication with one another and with family. Taylin’s recovery is to be measured in years not days. I have turned to the power of social media and I am asking for any help possible to help cover only a fraction of what they will be expected to cover. Medical supplies,personal care, transportation, rehabilitation, child care costs for Jager, home modifications and potential relocation. Ramps, lifts and a new bed for Taylin. The list goes on and on, and the bills as we know never stop coming. I have only been able to support them emotionally at this point, however I hope my efforts here could help carry the load. We are forever grateful to all who have taken the time to read Taylin’s tale, and to those of you who can help out at this time we appreciate you immensely.
Thank you
