It has taken me a bit to sit down and write this update because I simply didn’t want to jinx it! Collagen went in 2 weeks ago this Friday. My initial reaction was good, as was Bob’s and the plastic surgeon. The collagen injection went well, the overall appearance of the rods was diminished drastically… Read More
It’s her birthday! The Options.
We drove to Indy yesterday to let the surgeons get a good look at her back. The first thing they booth said was that it looked better in person than in the photographs, something I tried to relay, but it is hard when we live in a visual world. Photographs can often askew coloring and… Read More
The Reaction
Bailynn has had some kind of pressure point irritation or allergic reaction on her back. I really believe it is due to the combination of adhesive bandaging (which she always has issue with), neosporin, and pressure on the new rods and their placement. She now has large irritation points on her back right where the… Read More

Hippity Hoppity we are not
It has been a long two days since coming home. Though Bai has slept well over night, her days have been filled with tears, screaming and discomfort. Today was a little better, but not by a whole lot. The afternoon brought some happier temperament, then we removed the top bandage cause there is a small… Read More
She’s OUT!
Surgery went well today. The dural tear, that was allowing for the spinal fluid leak, was at the top of her spin where the goo blob use to be. The hooks that were removed with her rods 2 weeks ago were the culprit. The doctor had to remove a small portion of her vertebra bone… Read More
The forecast shows signs of Surgery
The plan: We watch the spinal fluid leak over night, if it has not stopped by morning, we have to go to Indy and have a surgery done to repair the tear in the dural. They are on standby waiting for our return. At least it is an outpatient procedure. We have tightly bandaged the… Read More
