She has the NF2 then because she has some small tumors.

The scoliosis was awful. Her left hip was rotated up and to the back to the point she couldn't wear a skirt and she had a hump on the upper part of her back like a dowager's hump. 19 years old and her stay in the hospital was horrendous. The 10 days in traction was worse than the 2 surgeries.
