Health Complication

As we have emphasized, things are not always easy for Abby and Brittany. During their childhood and adolescence, things were a bit complicated in relation to their health. When Brittany’s spine growth stopped prematurely, the doctors quickly needed to also stop Abby’s spine growth. At 12 years old, the two went into surgery at Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare to fix their scoliosis, in addition to expanding their chest cavity to prevent any breathing issues.
