Dr. Flynn - Post-op Update

10-15-2007, 01:52 PM

Just wanted to let everyone know, we are home from the hospital. My son had surgery Oct 1st, at CHOP. Dr. Flynn was his surgeon. We are 2 weeks post-op today and he is doing great. Starting to cut back on the meds and his pain is very tolerable. More pain from stiffness than anything but it seems to help if he moves around. The tutor is coming tomorrow to begin some school work at home so perhaps he will be back sooner than 5 weeks!
