We went to our pre op appointment yesterday and I got all the stats on what is going on. Our last visit with our doctor had been in October and Keri's curve was at 53 degrees. Her doctor did more x-rays yesterday and her curve has progressed to 65 degrees. She will be having a Posterior Thoracal(spelling?) Lumbar Fusion from T3-L4. He will be using shavings from her right ribs for the bone graft. He closes the incision with dissolving stitches and covers them with steri strips. She will not have to wear and type of brace afterwards! She did have to go back today for an MRI. He wants to make sure there is nothing else going on in there because her curve has progressed so quickly. Now that all the pre op stuff is done, we only have to get through the surgery on the 25th. The surgery is scheduled for 7:30 AM. I will keep everyone posted.
Talk to you all soon.
