Hi Everyone
Kitty here. Tahlia had her first post-op appt with the surgeon this morning and all looks good. The surgeon is very happy and so are we. Tahlia still has to wear her brace for another 2 months and then only wear it for 4-6 weeks whilst at school only. She is not allowed to play sport for 4 months. I asked the doc if there was any chance her curve could still continue to progress and he said it was a slight possibility, but not likely. He basically said that it is now up to the bone to fuse and that she has a 96% chance of doing this. He also said that if the bone doesn't fuse, it is likely that the rods will bend and break.
But I am confident this will not happen.
Tahlia is doing very well and we have a follow-up appointment with the surgeon again in 4 months.
Just wanted to share with you all.
Thanks and best wishes to everyone, especially those of you who have shared this journey with me.
*hugs*
