Hi, Heidi
Thanks for clarification about these studies. The pulmo nurse called me back and she will get back to me about what the doc says about this study. I'm hoping it is an option. If not, I will question him the next time my son sees him in May and bring it up with the spinal dr. as well. From what you are telling me it would give some good info. to the docs as well as myself. I'm hoping what the spinal dr. had in mind was posterior surgery but I don't know yet I'm hoping they don't mention anterior. I'm already scared as it is for him but anterior is definitely more involved with having to deflate a lung. Although you mentioned in your son's case they were able to do part of an anterior fusion without deflating. Which is good! I guess only time will tell once I have all of the information.
