The surgery seems to have gone well. And of course it usually takes twice as long as originally told it will take. But Emily was in true form yesterday and it looks as though she and Maria Marcela will be coming home later today.
This might be a record for short amount of time spent in the hospital other than having tests run.

Next Surgery - Tuesday, August 24
I've allowed too much time to lapse since last update, but then again, it's been a tumultuous year.
In any event, Emily has been doing great. The greatest news is the MRI results showing that her spinal cord doesn't show signs of fusing.
This enables us to go forward with Monday's next surgery to extend the titanium supports, which, I will add, is greatly needed due to her growth spurt.
She is finally ON the growth chart and showing to be in the 10 percentile of children her age. So, she's still small for her age, but at least she's on the chart.
Tomorrow is a big day for all of us with her surgery and Andrew starting 1st grade at a new school. Actually, Emily's surgery is Tuesday, but she's being admitted tomorrow for pre-op.
We'll hope to keep you posted on everything.
