My mom's friend is undergoing 18-24hr surgery tomorrow on her back.
She was born with scoliosis and this will be her 4th (hopefully last) surgery.
A few years ago her titanium rods cracked. She didn't heal properly from the last operation. Now she has developed flat back. Her orthopedic surgeon (not who did her operations) suggested a surgeon in St. Louis at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. She flew out this past summer for a consult and was approved for the surgery. She will be out there for at least 2-3 weeks before she can fly again.
I really need some vibes for her. Mom was going to fly out to be with her but she is scheduled for her back surgery the 30th. Her cousin went with her instead cause someone had to fly down with her, stay for the surgery and then fly back home together. She is like a sister to Mom and a 2nd Mom to me.
Thanks.
