Our scoliosis journey has just begun

Whip's scoliosis journey began two weeks ago. In two weeks, the next phase in her journey will begin. We will be right by her side the whole way.

So what's the Big Guy going to do, you ask (and yes, I just referred to myself in the third person)?

I'm going with a hybrid mo.

Here are my options:
