I will make this quick for now, but she is DOING GREAT and the doctors and staff have been amazing!!!
Surgery - 6 hours - T-1 to L-2 have not had post x-rays yet so do not know the correction (I can tell you her shoulders are pretty much even now) Surgeons found A LOT of scar tissue that her body had laid down trying to "self fuse" the vertebrae not unheard of but certainly not very common.
Pain control - PCA (self dosing pump) with Dilaudid dose available every 6 minutes it also has VERY small amount dosed at a steady rate. Pain meds supplemented with Lortab 10's.
She sat in a chair for 30 min first night and briefly stood. This morning she stood for a while and is looking forward to a short jaunt down the hall.....
More to come......
