We came home yesterday after 9 days in hospital. Hannah is finally doing really well just very sore. The first few days were extremely difficult and Hannah overdosed on the morphine which was really frightening. They finally got her pain under control which made everything slightly easier. We had a fantastic surgeon who seems to think he has got her spine almost 100% straight. (It was originally 48 degrees) luckily it is only the thorasic area he has fused which should not effect her mobility. I would like to thank everyone on this forum for their support. Also it was so reassuring to know other people were going through the same as our family. Hannahs room looks great which she was really pleased with. I think this experience has made Hannah grow up very quickly. She said she would never take for granted being able to walk again !!
Must go she is calling me ! She says she wants a bell !!
I would like to say however, GOOD LUCK, to all those going through the surgery on 28th and what I think is really important is STAY FOCUSED and try really hard not to get upset when your children go into surgery. Wait until they are asleep and then cry all you like. Dig deep the strength is there I was so surprised my surfaced just when needed.
Take care
