My niece is scheduled to have surgery in the morning. Her Scoliosis has progressed to over 80% curvature of the spine. What would have been a correction of the spine has now become a matter of just making sure she wont go into a wheel chair. The surgery now will consist of her heart and lungs having to be moved out of the way completely for them to be able to take the 80%+ curvature and reduce it to 20-25%. She will be in surgery for at least 8 hours now. It was only supposed to take about 4 hrs and cut in the back to correct the 60% curvature.. now.. its worse. :( Please tomorrow, if you could... give her a thought please. She just turned 11 when she found out in February about the Scoliosis. She will be in PICU for at least 3 days they said.. not to mention now in the hospital overall about 14 days.. I have had people tell me they would be there for me with this, but if you could please.. find it in your heart to give her that moment, in thought and prayer if you pray.. That is all I ask.
Thank you for your time.
