Jeremy hit a milestone, we have been in the hospital for 15 days straight, his NICU stay at birth was only 11 days, heart surgery was 7 days, shunt infection was 12 days, kyphosis repair was 12 days but we are on Day #15. Everything is going good, Jeremy is being quite the charmer, he of course loves attention from anyone, and everyone is so good with him. He's made several children friends during his stay. We had one family that brought tears to my eyes, they are leaving today and she said although she hated this hospital stay they were here with her daughter having migraines she said she is so glad that she got the opportunity to meet and hear about Jeremy.
Dr. Dan showed me the X-rays we took Monday, compared to the ones in his office and I could see somewhat a difference but he seems very pleased so I have found through the years with Jeremy if you have a physican who is doing what they are doing for the good of your child, they are happy you learn to be happy. He is pleased with how natural and safe the traction is working. We will at some point today talk surgery, although I can't think of any questions that I have at this time, he will also add a pound. Friday, morning, January 28 is the surgery day approximately 8:30am Dr. Dan will start his surgery, he said it could take 6-7 hours it just depends on Jeremy, his spine and if he has to slow down. I am excited that he feels that he will be able to get some correction, especially he plans to be able to get enough lower to fix Jeremy's leg length difference.
