Siobhan Update.....

[Guest guest]

Just thought I'd post an update - We got home yesterday, and Siobhan

was begging to return to school today!!!!!! I have said a

definite " not yet... "

Her surgery was a huge success - Her spine is now straight (and I

have the x-rays to prove it LOL )

Her lumbar curve was close to 50* and her standing x-ray shows a

12* " curve " . Her thoracic curve was 35* and is now zero*. She does

have a VERY flexible spine (because of the Marfan Syndrome), but

we'd never dreamed of getting such great results.

She is just on Motrin every 6 hours, and that's it for pain meds!

She is walking around comfortably, getting in and out of bed without

help, drawing lots (she loves to draw!), and all this 10 days post

op! I am insisting on an afternoon nap for the next few days at

least though!

Thanks to you all for the well wishes! It was great to catch up with

Amy, and S again!

Carmell - THANK YOU for the visits, your knowledge and support

really got me thru this!!! Meeting even more of your family was so

cool!!!! Tell Dixie " Hi " from me!

- Kylie's quick recovery really seemed to inspire Siobhan!

See you guys in November!!!

HRH - Looking forward to chatting again soon!
