Kylie update

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

was going to post, but since she didn't yet, I

thought I'd send a quick note. Kylie is doing GREAT!

I talked to tonight and she was almost giddy.

Kylie's spine looks so good. The post-op xrays are

amazing ( said). She has ZERO kyphosis! They

are thrilled with the correction they were able to

get.

Kylie had surgery early (7:30am) and was up going to

the bathroom at 3:30 this afternoon. How cool is

that?! She's doing great and will be going back to

Shriners on Wednesday (probably).

Good news for Kylie! Gentle hugs coming your way.

Many speedy recovery vibes too.
