Jean in Wisc Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 My 15yo son is going back in to surgery today. They placed screws and rods and donor bone into his back last Monday. Then Friday we were told that one of the screws was too long and was sticking out the front near a blood vessel. Today they are replacing that screw. The disturbing side is that we were not told this was even a possibility, and my son was really upbeat and working hard to be ready to go home on Saturday. He's really lost his push and is quite blue today...not a good way to go into surgery. Prayers are coveted--suppose to go into surgery around 2:00. Thanks.

Guest Lorna Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Thinking of you all today and tonight (UK time). Your son has been so brave, I am not surprised he feels let down. Hopefully he can get on with his recovery in peace after today. With love, Lorna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
