Tyler was diagnosed with congenital scoliosis when I was still pregnant with him. Although he was and is otherwise healthy and active, he has a significant curve (about 80 degrees) in his spine. We are greatful that we were able to simply monitor his growth and the progression of his curve for the last 5 years. Now, it is time for his first surgery. My name is Sarah and my husband Joey and I want to share Tyler's story with anyone who it can help.

Fun the day before surgery
Tyler was so excited to ride the train to Seattle! He loved it and watched out the window most of the trip.
Once we arrived in Seattle, we spent a few hours walking around downtown. We rode the monorail and sat in the very front next to the driver. She was very nice and even let Ty honk the horn. He had a permanant grin for the entire ride after that.
Tyler's pre-op appointments went well. His x-rays appear to confirm my opinion that he is not as straight as he was 6 months ago, but are not conclusive because he is standing in a slightly different posistion in the previous x-ray.
Surgery is scheduled for 9:30 today, and I will post updates later when I know how he did.
Thanks for the prayers and well-wishes for a safe surgery!
