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.

Tyler is back
Tyler was pretty sleepy when he was wheeled into the room a little over an hour ago. His nurse took him off oxygen and he smiled for a few pictures. Nancy, one of the Child Life Specialists brought him a small LEGO set and that perked him up a little. His smile didn't last long. The anethesia is making him sick. Tyler has not been able to keep anything down, so his nurse just got him another dose of anti-nausea medicine. We are hoping that kicks in and he feels better soon. He can't be released until he is eating and drinking well, among other things.
