Many of the simple pleasures that teenage girls love to do, such as going to the beach, swimming with friends, buying clothes and sleepovers, were becoming increasingly difficult for her.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cBecause she is skeletally immature with significant remaining growth, she has a very high chance of curve progression. Left untreated, it usually continues to progress at an average of one degree per year. Significant spinal deformity leads to noticeable changes in appearance, such as shoulders that are not level, ribs on one side of the body that stick out further than on the other side, uneven hips, and a shift of the waist and trunk to the side.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u201cIt can also cause increased back pain, and, if the curve keeps progressing, the ribcage may press against the lungs and heart, making it more difficult to breathe and harder for the heart to pump,\u201d he explains.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>Caro enjoys music and achieved Unisa Grade 4 in both piano and flute, but had to give up the flute due to her spine problem. She also had to give up horse riding, another of her passions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">In South Africa, the only way to correct the curve and prevent the long-term adverse effects of scoliosis is spinal fusion.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u201cGiven that hers is a lumbar curve (in the lower back) and that fusion will mean a significant reduction in mobility, we have researched non-fusion alternatives for months. We finally discovered this minimally invasive non-fusion scoliosis correction procedure.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cThe good news is that Caro is a perfect candidate based on her remaining growth. This is essential in order to make full use of the principle of bone growth modulation to straighten the spine. The bad news is that according to her latest X-rays this needs to be at the latest by year end,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">At 45\u2009000 Euros (excluding travel, accommodation for three weeks and any follow-up costs), it is a rather costly procedure.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">This is also the reason why they have opted to have the procedure done in Turkey instead of the USA, where the same procedure will cost about R1.8m.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u201cBecause of the constant weakening of our rand and the fact that our medical aid has declined our request for partial funding, this is far above our means,\u201d Jaco says.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>With time not on their side to first raise funds before the operation, they decided to take a leap of faith and create a funding campaign on GoGetFunding to raise funds towards the costs of the surgery.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cWe are painfully aware that there are millions of deserving causes and even more demands on your resources. If you can afford to donate to Caro\u2019s cause, we will be forever grateful. If you cannot, then spare us a thought and a prayer and know that you are blessed and appreciated regardless,\u201d Jaco says.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>Visit https:\/\/gogetfunding.com\/caros-spinal-surgery\/ to make a donation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lastline\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u2009What is your opinion on this article?
