You can pray to the angels and they will listen… But the best way to call them is to laugh. Angels respond to delight, because that is what they are made of. In fact, when peoples minds are clouded by anger or hatred, no angel can reach them. — Michael Jackson

I haven’t told many people but late last year my son (now 15) was diagnosed with scoliosis by our family physician during his annual physical. It is mild and will hopefully stay that way but we are keeping a close eye on it. I was diagnosed at 12 when a nurse came to gym class. I don’t believe they do that anymore but they should. Early detection is very important. Check your child or request that your physician does.
