''Prom was an incredibly emotional day. When Olivia tried the prom dress on in the shop, her spine looked perfectly straight. Olivia had achieved what she wanted to achieve, and as her mum, it was brilliant to see.'
Olivia was later prescribed a back brace, that she had to wear for around 23 hours a day in order to help straighten her back. And in May 2022, after three years of wearing the brace, she was allowed to take it off as her spine was perfectly straight - just in time for prom.
"It's been a tough few years, but Olivia has had that inner strength and she has been given the superb care to achieve the best outcome. The team at Sheffield Children's have been absolutely incredible. They are 100% committed to making the best outcome for patients. "Olivia was really disciplined and committed to wearing the brace. As a family we are incredibly proud of her. She was motivated by having this vision in the future - wearing her prom dress."
"Olivia met many other teenagers in clinic and closer to home. She shared her motivation and positive mindset and listened to their thoughts, offering reassurance. She became a scoliosis advocate for Sheffield Children's, volunteering her support to other young people with the same condition for almost three years."
