This morning we arrived at the hospital at 6:00am for Michaela's surgery. Dr. Daubs and medical team talked to us about the surgery. Kirk, Michaela's husband, and I, really like Dr. Daubs. He has a way of making you feel that everything is going to be just fine. We really needed that reassurance this morning as we were all a little on edge.
Michael is on his way to the hospital. He left St. George early this morning.
9:00am
One of the assistants in the operating room called us just a few minutes ago to tell us that the surgery is going smoothly and Michaela is doing well. The surgery will last 5-6 hours.
They are going to screw rods into her spine from T4 to L3. or 11 vertabrae. They will be screwing the rod into each vertabrae and then will be packing in donor bone so that the spine will heal straight and strong. Sounds awful if you ask me!
We will keep you posted!
Hope all goes well! We love and miss you guys! Good luck Michaela!
