9 Mon Post Op for Our Girl!

J had her 9 mon. post op check up today. The Scoliosis surgeon is very pleased with her progress. The only slight concern is her cervical spine is relaxing forward. Right now they will not do anything about this... not until it becomes an issue of pain for her.

She has been released to do normal activities (but not wide open at them) He wants her to continue to gradually build up to normal activity. :)

Here are J's actual X-rays from today's appointment:
Lateral View: (Yep, all of those screws and hardware are in our little girl!!)


Posterior View:
Nice straight spine and hips are so much straighter! I'm going to try to snap some before shots of the X-Rays next time I get by the office. They do not have a system where they can email the images to me. I have to take my camera, and snap them when they are put up on the wall.



I was so caught up in the report from the Dr (questions and answers, etc), I totally forgot about getting the before shots of her X-Rays...duh! lol. However, the office is not far away, so I'll get by there another day to see if the X-Ray tech will put them up for me again (on a less busy day-they were quite busy today!!).

Tomorrow Comes Early-Surgery Time

(mother, pre-teen daughter, and daughter as a baby. -jennography)

There is still that baby girl inside who just wants to be held and told that everything is going to be alright.

Isaiah 66:13 (New International Version)
13 As a mother comforts her child, so will I (God) comfort you;

Our daughter's surgery is tomorrow. We have to be at the hospital at 5:15 am..GAH that is EARLY...lol! :) She should be taken back for surgery by 7 am. It takes that much time to get her all prep'd for surgery, you know.

Somehow I have GOT to sleep tonight! Last night, I was up all night...and a few days last week I had no sleep. I'm just wide awake! Yet, I know it will catch up with me, and I need to be my best for the Woog.

May God grant our little girl sweet peace, and healing from above. As well as comfort from the pain, In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
