we found out that one of the vertabrea's in my brothe's back is smaller than normal size so he has two choices
A. He has to wear braces on his legs and back
B. or he can have surgery but there is a 50% risk that he'll come out paralyzed
so we picked A but the braces hurt my brother and he hates them and if he doesn't wear them then he's going to havea lot of pain in his back and even if he has the surgery or not he'll end up paralyzed, so my mom bribes him with candy and TV and other things to get him to wear them but every time i see him in them i want to cry because he looks to helpess and he hates them so much! So things aren't really going that well around my house, and sometimes in school i feel like crying but i don't because i don't want the teacher to send me to Mr. Cohen, and i don't want to cry at home because i want to be strong for my mom and my brother
