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.

After surgery
We are waiting in the room for Tyler to come up. The nurse just poked her head in and said she heard that he is doing well and should be up soon. This waiting to see him is hard! I am anxoius!
Later:
Ty arrived around 10:40. He is sleepy but much more alert than the initial implant surgery. Tyler even climbed from the stretcher to his bed all by himself! His incision is bandaged so I couldn't get a look at it. The nurse offered him a popsicle and he gobbled it all up. Now he is resting and watching Thomas the Train. He really wants the IV line out but we need it in until he is eating and drinking without any problems. We think he will be able to be released today.
