Update
Talia had a tough day yesterday. She is doing great walking and moving herself around but she had some pain adjusting to having the epidural taken out. The oral medication is now working and the pain managed. A side effect of the oral meds is a loss of appetite so this morning she had a tube added to get her calories up. 2300 / day is a lot to eat when you aren't feeling great. She isn't very happy about the tube.

A Rock Star
Talia has had the epidural removed and the drainage line too. Last night she asked to get out of bed so she could go potty! She had a bit of pain walking to there but she said it didn't hurt on the way back to bed. The girl is a ROCK STAR!

A tough transfer to her bed but now set for the night.
All done
Just met with the surgeon and everything went good. She is still in recovery but will be down in a bit.
She has 22 screws and a couple of rods in her now.
Animation of surgery.
just got a call from the OR and the surgeon is closing up. Once done he will come up and talk to us.
Here is a good animation of the surgery. A word of warning - don't watch an actual surgery.
T3 to L3
update #3. - we talked to the anesthesiologist and Talia went to sleep easily and everything is progressing smoothly. They are putting in the hardware right now. Her correction will be T3 - L3. We are awaiting for another call from the OR nurse
Just had a call from her nurse and she thinks a couple more hours. They are still putting in the implants or hardware.
Exceptional people extraordinary care
Update #2. Things are going good and progressing as scheduled!
Underway
We just had a call from the nurse in the or. She says the actual surgery is underway now. They started around 10:30
6 am comes early
We arrived at the hospital at 6 am. Talia is all checked in, showered and in her gown. She is very anxious but the recreation person has given her a iPad to play on so she is keeping herself distracted. We met with one of the doctors. We are a Half hour or so away from the OR
