News from the Operating Room

It is noon.  Danielle was wheeled away at 7:30 am sharp.  All the rods and screws are in and they took a final x-ray. If Dr. Lenke is satisfied they will begin to close.  They have monitored her spinal cord the entire time and everything looks great.  All her vitals are great too.  Danielle's blood loss for this type of surgery is low and she has not had to have a blood transfusion!  WAY TO GO ALL YOU PRAYER ANGELS! If all goes well Dr. Lenke will be out to talk to us in 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
