Hey everyone! I just wanted to keep you all updated on how my surgery is doing in a quick, easy way. Either my mother or I will be posting as I am recovering. Thank you for all of your prayers!

walking
I just moved to a different room, I am no longer in Ped ICU. Therapist came by soon after and helped me sit, stand, and take a few steps. I was able to eat some beef broth after resorting to using a straw.. For the most part I am just extremely tired and sore.
yay, :) sounds yummi :) what did i tell you, i told you the food would be yummi :) and congrats bout walking :) im so proud of you and yeah i bet you are tired, just remember SLEEP its good for you!!!! xoxox steph
I am so glad to hear that you are past this surgery and on the road to recovery as I know you and your parents are too! It seems like we talked about this so long ago, and now it's done! yeah!!
I pray that you are on the fast road to recovery, that you sense the nearness of the Lord, that He fills you with the joy of the Spirit, even during the pain,and that you are able to be a testimony of His grace, which will be sufficient for each day!!
scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. i have known that i've had scoliosis since 4th grade. as i continued to go to the doctor over the past years, it seemed as though my curve was stable, thanks to bracing. but, soon enough, my back began to reject the guidance of the brace. that was when my doctor, my parents, and i decided that it was best to proceed with surgery. during the surgery, my doctor will be inserting 2 rods (either stainless or cobalt chrome) on either sides of my spine. they will be fused to my backbone. :) lovely, right? i will have a scar, but let's just pretend it's from something way cooler, like a shark attack, ok?

That's a step in the right direction though! I hope that the pain subsides soon and you can at least get a little more movement!
