Maria,
Sorry about the news. I was surprised to read "she doesn't have any patients with this severe of osteoporosis". -2.49 is still only osteopenic, so -2.6 is really 'just barely osteoporotic. There was a great article in the LA times health section (sept 13th?) about bone density testing and over diagnosis of and testing for bone density issues.
If you are considering ADR, you'll be asking a lot of questions about the possibility of augmenting bone strenth. If you are not about to do ADR, I hope that you'll just be watching it and treating appropriately... but not considering this ominious news.
(All the obvious "I'm not a doctor, yada, yada, yada" disclaimers go here, so take my opinion with a huge grain of salt!)
All the best,
Mark
(PS... bummer... no margaritas!)
