Surgery was a success. Hayden showed extreme courage and was the best he had ever been coming out of surgery. I believe this is due to the prayers, good team and the desensitization from Dr. Bear getting the same surgery. We arrived in Houston after driving in from our Spina Bifida Clinic in Austin. We drove and arrived with our images in hand Monday night at 4:55. We delivered all our disk with all the images through the valet. the nurses uploaded the images and had trouble with her security loading some of them. It nearly canceled our surgery. I had an emotional break down at that point. Luckily there was a work around by 7 pm and the images were all uploaded. We arrived at the hospital at 5:30 for pre op for the 8 a surgery. Hayden and I were tired but relaxed.
The surgery started and lasted until 11:30. All went well and recovery began. He laid flat on his back without any support for two days. On the third day he began sitting up. On the fourth day he began sitting up and got out of bed. We were discharged on the 5th day and got to drive back to Austin.
