Ciara's Surgery

On May 7th Ciara had surgery to correct her Scoliosis.  This is a big surgery that they place rods and screws in her back to correct the curvature.  We knew for months in advance that she was going to have this surgery....finally the time had come.


My mom and I doing Ciara's hair (they wanted it like Pippy Longstocking so they could place all of the monitors into her scalp).


Ciara's support group (pre-op)


They are taking her back to the OR


and so the waiting begins...........


 Waiting......................

and still waiting................

 Finally Ciara is out of surgery....They said it went very well....but poor
Ciara was miserable and in a ton of pain.

 It did not take to many days for her personality to come back fully haha.

My brother and Mom checking her incision

Doing a lot better on day 5-6

 Finally home!!!

Ciara now has a perfect back (good bye scoliosis...)  and is feeling great.  She still has a lot of restrictions and can not lift more than 10lbs or do any sort of physical activity for 6 months.  Glad this went so well and is over!!
