14 year old achieves complete out-of-brace spinal correction in less than a year! Marshea Holmes remembers being shocked at the curve in her daughter, Anna Shea’s back. This, on top of the pain 14-year-old Anna was experiencing prompted Marshea to travel from Augusta to Shriners Hospital for Children in Greenville, SC where they worked with Michael Mendelow, MD.
From the outside looking in, many wouldn't realize that Andrew Parys, a Hershey, PA native who loves his Pittsburgh teams and home brewing, has been living with a prosthetic leg since the age of 1. Like many thirtysomethings, Andrew has dreams and goals. And his prosthetic is going to help get him there — one step at a time.
The motto for the group is simple: “Navigating your new normal doesn’t have to be done alone.” She held her first meeting in January at the library in Frederick. Except for those who were there to support Sewell, no one else attended. “It was just me,” she says. At the next meeting in February, one person attended, not someone with an amputation, but a caregiver for a family member. Not long after the second meeting, Sewell received a telephone call from a woman who wanted to attend the support group. “She wasn’t an amputee,” Sewell says. “She had a spinal cord injury and she wanted some place to go.”
