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.

He's out!
Tyler's recovery went better than we could have hoped for. After he ate lunch he became more and more active. We knew it was time to check out after we took him down to the kids playroom. Tyler spent his time riding a trike around and around the playroom dinging the little bell all the way. He actually began running down the hall on the way out! We had to call him back and remind him that he needed to slow down.
We decided to stay near Seattle despite his remarkable recovery. It turned out to be a good plan. Out good friends invited them to stay with them, and the hour drive up to Lynnwood was about all Tyler could take. So far he has only had two doses of Tylenol and one dose of Ibuprofen at bedtime to manage the pain. We were sent home with Oxycodone, but I don't think we will be neeeding it. It is such a blessing that his surgery went so well and that the recovery has been so smooth so far.
