Our little friend Max spent 10 hours in surgery on Monday and then another 7 hours on Friday. At the end of the day the curvature in his spine was corrected from a life-threatening 90 degrees to 30 degrees. It's stabilized with rods. He's recovering well, using his talker and asking for his favorite music, even eating a bit. He'll even have a medical journal article written about him. Yup. He gave his surgeons a real test. A first ever experience for them with all the problems they encountered. Not what one would choose, for certain. But those surgeons met the challenge. So now his family and friends can take a deep breath and relish the idea of his speedy and smooth recovery, and return to his home. Yay!
