Hello,
My daughter's spinal fusion surgery is on Aug. 3rd. I am trying to think of questions to ask the surgeon. I understand that the surgeon uses bone from your own body or donor bone. My child has Quad Cerebral Palsy and had a very difficult time with breathing after her last surgery. I have read posts that say taking bone from the rib or hip is very painful and from the rib causes breathing difficulty. If the surgeon uses donor bone, can it be rejected by the body just like organs are sometimes rejected when transplanted into a person who need a new organ???
What do you think is the best way to go?
Thanks,
Sue (Amanda's mom)
