Thank you for the prayers everyone!

Thank you so much for everyone's inquiries and prayers. Emily is out of surgery and in recovery. They were successful in once again lengthening the rods. Anxious to get home and measure to see how much she's grown in a day. :)

The surgeon expressed that everything went great and he will probably schedule the next one in 6-8 months, but after that, there's the possibility of removing the outer rod on the rib cage since that all is forming nicely. The rod on the spine will remain to ensure her growing straight.

Everything is looking like we'll be going home tomorrow...thankfully.

Next Surgery Coming Up...

Just to keep everyone posted, Emily's next surgery is coming up two weeks from today. It turns out that this will probably be record time for timeliness between surgeries. It's been the original intent to have them every 8 months, but because of scheduling, it turns out to be 10-12 months.

She certainly is growing, which is necessitating the greater frequency of ensuring the rods are making her as straight as possible.

Looks like I will be staying with her again this time since we just got a new addition to the family yesterday...Uriah Hope, 7 months old. We'll have more information on her in days to follow.
