: Back surgery : karleen August 19, 2011, 12:29:40 AM ds15a will be going in for surgery for his scoliosis. Pre-op is on Monday, surgery is on Tuesday. dh's mom is coming down on Sat so she can stay with ds15r since I will stay with dsa most of the time. He will be in the hospital 5-7 days, they say, depending on how it goes. dh will take several days off work, but not the entire time.
Prayers would be appreciated. : Re: Back surgery : Truebluemom August 19, 2011, 01:06:38 AM Will be praying. Does dsr have this problem as well?
: Re: Back surgery : MissB August 19, 2011, 09:19:34 AM Praying for you.
: Re: Back surgery : justine August 19, 2011, 11:17:22 AM Thanks for the heads up so we can pray. Hope all goes well, Karleen.
: Re: Back surgery : karleen August 19, 2011, 03:10:11 PM TB, at their last physical a few months ago, the ped mentioned a very slight curve for dsr. No one has ever mentioned it before, and it's been checked plenty of times. So I don't know if this is the beginning of something new for him or not. It really started shifting for dsa 3 years ago. I'm hoping the fact that it hasn't done so for dsr up to this point is a good sign. Time will tell.

: Re: Back surgery : karleen August 22, 2011, 09:13:14 PM Thanks all. Surgery is tomorrow. Dr said today it will take 4-5 hours. Since dsa will be in the hospital so long, I have no idea if I will be on the boards or not. Good thing is the hospital does have Wi-Fi. So we will see. Take care all. I will let you know how it goes.

blessings : Re: Back surgery : karleen August 24, 2011, 02:59:00 PM Surgery went well. Dr was pleased with how much correction he was able to do. It was more than he thought he would get. dsa is resting pretty well. On muscle relaxers and pain drugs. Lots of bones in the spine got moved around, and the muscles don't like it. Overall he is doing well.
Thanks for the prayers, all. : Re: Back surgery : Jeannie August 24, 2011, 03:47:01 PM So glad to hear it went well, Karleen! Keep us posted as the pain meds wear off, okay? Take care. :coffee2:
: Re: Back surgery : justine August 24, 2011, 05:32:44 PM Glad its over, hope recovery includes some "isn't mom great?" openness to some good old TLC!
