What a relief now we've made the decision to go w Dr Cronen. Jacob's surgery is set for Jan 3 at Tampa General. Reality crashed down overwhelmingly for a bit after getting the date, but we are so thankful as we know there are so many people who are much worse off. And we arent having to wait long at all. Not to make light of what still is major surgery, but we have insurance and family support and access to info and a great surgeon, and that this all has come about while Jacob is a young teen.
I do have questions about the diff in rods tho- he said titanium can break more easily; is there any concern about putting cobalt in the body, as isn't a form of cobalt radioactive? Is stainless more or less durable, ESP for a very active boy (who has done stupid things such as parkour (roof jumping!) without our knowledge and hopefully never again will.
