    That was very interesting!

    Congratulations on getting through the surgery.

    Your daughter is beautiful.

    So one in 10,000 kids has scoliosis surgery? I assume that's of all kids, scoliotic or not?

    Thanks for posting that article.

          Wow. Thanks for sharing so much.

          That's is really special to have them put her in the paper and use new fancy high-tech equipment. I am so glad her surgery is past. My daughter is Day....hmmm let's see....5/21 was surgery...so, we are day 12 or so. Her pain is finally under control with little pain meds. Hope your sweet little one is doing well too.

          Thx so much for sharing with us. This forum SAVED MY B***. I was so nervous and you all gave me so much hope. Now, it's a wait to regain normal activities (S L O W L Y) and to be sure the bone graft takes (I'm sure it will).

          Anyhow love to you and yours!!
