Thought I'd bring you up-to-date with Allie's appointment today. It looks like she will be fused T6 (maybe T-5) - L4. The information I received from this website was so helpful with the questions I asked the doctor as well as how comfortable I feel. Thank you to everyone for contributing.
The doctor said I will be able to be in ICU with her at most times except when the nurses need me to leave for a few minutes. This information made me feel better as well.
Allie was so nervous before her appointment, she said she felt like she'd through up. However, she did great. I think she actually tuned the majority of things the doctor was saying out. As she looked like she was in a far away place.
My son is 10. He will be turning 11 when Allie is in the hospital. What advice do you have regarding him? We are not planning on him seeing her until atleast 2 days post-op.
Thank you for your advice. Teri
