8 yr. old one year post op update

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone!

Well, I can not believe it was one year on Nov.9 for our 8 year old daughter,

Amy's decompression surgery. She did end up getting aseptic meningitis 9 days

post op but recovered from that with a week of steroids and many weeks after

that.

We just saw the NSG a few weeks ago and he was beaming from ear to ear.

Her syrinx is down to about 25% left of what was there before surgery and her

Scoliosis is down to about 22% degrees from 32% post op.

She feels great with very few headaches now and is a very happy active little

girl. We see the Ortho Dr. in Feb/2001 to keep an eye on her curve and if

everything is going good, we do not see the NSG for 2 years and for another MRI!

Wow!

Thanks again for all your help and prayers for all that we went through last

year.

Take care, Lillian
