Surgery For Spina Bifida Occulta?  Another X-Ray?

We had another doctor visit for James and his Spina Bifida Occulta.  This time it was with a surgeon.  We were told that a surgeon will be watching him as he grows until he is about 16 or 17.  I honestly didn't think they were thinking he was going to have to have surgery.  Now after talking to the surgeon he made me feel like it could be a possibility.  As a parent this is scary because you don't want your kid to have to have any kind of surgery especially a major surgery and making sure you do everything you can to keep you child from having to have surgery can be stressful.  It's hard to keep your active 3 now 4 year old from jumping off things and it is also hard to make him wear a brace that makes it hard for him to move and is uncomfortable, but you do it because you love them.  No matter how hard it is for you.  You have to suck it up because they look up to you for answer, support, love and courage and that is what I am going to give James!
