Hi everyone, this is Lisa's daughter Sarah,
I just wanted to let you all know that mom is doing really well, her surgery took about 11 hours, but that was mostly due to a technical difficulty at the hospital, not any physical issues. Everything went as well as could be hoped for with something like this! She came out of surgery around 6:30, and we were able to visit her at 7:30. She was a little loopy on painkillers, but in good spirits and doing great. We were excited to hear that the doctors think they were able to get her from a 60% curve down to 20%, which was more than we'd hoped was possible. Also, they did not have to remove any ribs, and were able to use an abdominal incision to go in from the front, which will mean her recovery will be much less difficult than had they had to go in under the ribcage. She's spending the night in ICU tonight, and will hopefully be moved to a regular room tomorrow. More updates later,
Sarah
