Blaire saw her surgeon Dr. Karlen today. He did new x-rays and Blaire's back is now at 48 degrees. It is really good she is having the surgery soon.
Dr. Karlen ordered titanium rods. We are so pleased with this choice. They seem to be superior over the stainless steel rods.
Based on the x-rays, the surgeon found Blaire's lower back is very flexible, so he will be fusing her spine only to the L1 vertebra. She will be able to retain all the flexibility in her spine from the L1 vertebra down. This was wonderful news!
