Tethered Cord Spine Surgery #11

Hayden has successfully made it through tethered cord surgery! It is with grateful hearts that we now make the journey into recovery. We can sincerely say that we felt the power and peace from prayer brought into our lives during surgery. For each prayer that was offered, we shed one less tear.

He is a sweet peaceful boy. Going into surgery, he knew what was going to take place and was brave. The incision site is about 4 inches long. The neurosurgeon said everything went as he expected. We arrived at 6am & he was assigned to room 220 at 2pm.

He is already acting like himself again. He woke from anesthesia wanting juice and popsicles. He will recover laying flat for the first two days.

His pain is well-managed and we hope to keep him infection free. Because of this we request no visitors until his wound heals.

Hayden will have interesting stories along his life's journey. We are honored to love him & witness his sacrifice and extraordinary price he pays with struggles for great blessings.

We are blessed to have Kristin taking care of and Hanna & Garrett while we take care of Hayden.
