Well, Emily had her post surgery follow up with Scottish Rite in which some x rays were taken of her back and she met with the doctor. He explained that they're not going to rush into any surgery at this time without making some calculated decisions. Which would, or at least hope to be the expected path anyway.
Her next appointment is to be seen by a team of specialists at the hospital in mid March. Scottish Rite had received the report from the doctor who performed the spinal cord surgery, so they've requested those which will help in their decisions.
One thing that seems to be of interest here is that they are wanting more time to allow the body to heal itself before performing corrective surgery on the spine. Another aspect that we didn't realize before is that there is, more than likely, malformation of the ribs due to her conditions that she's had since the very beginning of her development.
