So in July of 2012 we had our first surgery. It lasted about 5 hours... 5 of the longest hours we have ever had. After all the options they had given us, they decided that the two rods in her back were the best option for straightening her spine. The doctor says that as of right now, there is no safe way to fix the mass of bone in her spine, so they just want to concentrate on straightening her spine.
She was one crabby girl during this time. She did very well considering what she had gone through. It was a long two week recovery. With some rashes coming up, an infection scare, and a "peepee" issue. She was such a brave girl.
The surgery was a success, as the spine is actually straightening out and the rate at which it curves is slowing down or reversing altogether.
