She said the dr told her that she was still growing, so they weren't going to do surgery. She told me the number that she is, but I can't remember. I think she said 40? I just am not sure, though.

She said that they found it becasue the dr saw that she had a funny gait when she walked, and then they did X Rays.

It can't kill her, can it? Is it just that it can possibly curve her spine to the point that she has a "hunch back" like an older woman would have that has calcium issues?

Ugh, I need to do more research..
