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! 🙂
