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's first expansion
Trrow at 7:15 we will check into Seattle Children's hospital for Tyler's first VEPTR expansion. We met with Dr. White yesterday and he expects the surgery to last about 45 minutes. We are nervous but it is nice to know that this time the recovery should be quicker; about a week.
