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.

Home Sweet Home
Today we made the drive home to Wenatchee. After Tyler was released Tuesday night around 9:30, we headed back to the hotel. Joey and I did not want to push Tyler too far and drive home. So, after a good night of sleep, we headed home this morning. We stopped a few times to break up the ride for Tyler, and that worked out well for us. He was sleepy and less active than we are used to, but that was expected. He had some pain, but we were able to manage it with Tylenol and Ibuprofen. It was obvious to us when the medicine started to wear off; Tyler began to look sleepy and slowed down significantly. Once the meds kicked in, he perked right up!
He couldn't wait to get home to see his sister, Kaitlyn, and play with his toys. He is an amazing kid. He just keeps going, and his smile and energetic personality make us just want to smile with him. We are so blessed that Tyler is our son! I have some great pictures of him smiling in the hospital that I will post later.
