There's a lot more known about it now it looks like. I just looked it up again. I hadn't looked in several years. I'm guessing in previous years it was misdiagnosed as MS or something else. I do know even a few years ago most prognoses for Transverse weren't good. It looks like that has improved.

I misread the article evidently this girl was hit a lot lower in the spine which is good because fewer things are compromised. They won't have to concentrate on all four limbs then either but can focus on trunk and legs.

Thanks for the prayers. Thirty years ago the live expectancy for many quads was just over five years. She's made it to almost her thirty year mark with God's help and real good doctors.

Thank you. I have no visible signs (shortened limbs, etc.) that I had Polio, but my back muscles were ruined and I had to have physical therapy from childhood through my teens. I had back surgery last year to alleviate some of the lifelong back pain I have endured.
