My 15 yo daughter is having scoliosis surgery along with a thoracoplasty on July 2nd (40 days). I'm really concerned about the thoracoplasty even though she really needs it. She has a bad rib hump. I'm just worried about the whole chest tube, reduced lung capacity thing. Does anyone have any POSITIVE experiences with thoracoplasty?
Also, does anyone have any suggestions for things that she may need at home post-op? We are looking for a new mattress for her - any suggestions on that? What about wedge pillows, certain types of chairs, etc?
Her curves in October 2011:
T - 50
L - 43
Not sure now.
