We went Friday for her 6-month check-up, and Dr. Berch said everything looks great. He released her to do anything she wants to do...even play football if she wanted to...LOL. Nothing but ballet is on her agenda, though - she's looking forward to starting back next week.
She still has some discomfort every now and then on her sides where the bar is attached, but it's nothing she can't live with for a couple of years until she has it removed. He said we would discuss at 2 years post-op when to have it removed. She will be 12 1/2 then, and he said we may even stretch it to 13 years if it looks like she still has some growing to do. As it stands now, she'll get it removed in February 2013.
I'll update if she has any changes. Otherwise, we'll let you know how the removal goes in a couple of years!
