Can't believe it's almost a year ago already!!
Ok so Patrick had his 11 month check-up last week and other then an initial scare all seems well. He will be clear for pretty much all activities in one month except contact sports for another year and, sadly, roller coasters for another 6 months (his physics class is going on a field trip to an amusement park soon, boohoo).
The scare came when I saw the x-ray and immediately saw that his lumber spine has increased. My heart sank. Both thoracic and lumber are now at 31*, first "official" measurement I have seen. But the surgeon was happy with this and doesn't see the increase as progression just the spine finding it's new place and he was not concerned with the increase. I pray that he is right. So now it's another year before we go back again.
