Hi all,
We have been to the hospital and done the prelim blood work and have to report to the O.R. at 6:00am tomorrow morning. The doctors told us today that Spencer's fusion surgery will be 8 hours long. I shudder to think of his little body (he only weighs 35 pounds!!) being put through that kind of trauma for that long. I know different surgeries take different lengths of time, and I can't articulate exactly what the docs are going to do (I'll get the details and let you know), but is 8 hours a long time for this kind of procedure? ....long Sigh....
Anyway, if anyone is interested, we have started a blog where we will update his surgery and recovery. I dont know if the rules here allow me to post the web address, so if any forum admins or moderators read this, or if anybody else knows, let me know and I will post another reply with the address, if anyone is interested.
