I've just been told that my 16 year old daughter will require surgery to fuse her spine and I'm currently scared stiff. Our doctor moved from "I think we should do something about this" to a list of possible problems - starting with death and moving down through paralysis to infection and the possibility of further surgery - before I could even catch my breath.
We've been sent away to think about it for a couple of months and come back with a list of questions. I could really use some advice from someone who's been through this.
My daughter has cerebral palsy (spastic quadraplegia) and is very dependent. We have had some fairly major surgery for various things in the past but nothing as big as this.
