K…update. It is 5:30 our time, and I just talked to the surgeon. Ben should be out of the OR in the next hour or so. All the tricky stuff is done – they are just wrapping things up. The surgeon was pleased with how the surgery went. We were able to do both the osteotomy (cutting out a pizza wedge shape of bone) from the neck as well as two rods down his thoracic spine that should expand as he grows. I will give more details probably tomorrow. Thanks so much for all your support, thoughts, and prayers! 🙂
Thank you for letting us know, I can’t imagine what it was like for you guys today. Take care hugs to all.
That’s great news. Well done Ben and Mum!! Whoot!!!
🤞
You did indeed win your gold and our guess is that the news you received from the surgeons is the best “Survivor” prize of all!
Big hugs to all of you!
