I know it is tough, and I wish you the best on your daughters surgery next month. I will keep you and your daughter in our thoughts and prayers.
Spinal Fusion surgery, Wed., Aug. 1st went very well. She had two titanium rods and screws, and hooks, as need to be able to do future MRI's to monitor her spinal cord. No spinal cord issues during surgery. Great correction and about an inch and a half taller. She is still healing, but we were able to come home yesterday and sleep in our own beds. Pain is manageable, but day 3-4 were tough. Her curve was at a 60 on July 31st at preop. It was upper thorasic curve later determined through an MRI as caused by Chiari I Malformation. She had Chiari decompression surgery Dec 2006 and she used Spinecor until then, almost 9 months. We live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area of Texas. She had surgery at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. The two surgeons were awesome, and nurses, and eveyone there were great. A very special place. Since day one until now very pleased with them (TSRHC).
