Great Post-Op Report
Maggi had her most recent spine surgery on March 7, 2012 and did wonderful! She went home the same day, as usual, and has really been doing exceptionally well ever since!
She had her post-op follow-up April 3. What a great report! Dr. Devito said he can probably get one more lengthening from her hardware, so we hope at the next appointment in 3 months, her xray will show that is possible! She remains in the 40 to 50 degree Thoracic Curvature range which is FANTASTIC… remember, she started with an 85 degree curve.
We took Mrs. Dana (Dr. Devito’s assistant) an Easter prize. She loved it! =)
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! God is good!

Another Successful Surgery!
Well, Maggi has made it through another surgery! On March 7, 2012, Maggi had her 15th surgery. Dr. Devito lengthened the rod in Maggi’s back, and she has been doing great! No fevers, only took pain meds for a couple of days after, and she’s just generally happier after this surgery than after any other surgery she’s ever had.
Her next spine surgery will be a little bigger than the last couple. Dr. Devito will be replacing the rod in Maggi’s back. The one in there now is at full extension, so the next step is to put in a longer one. That surgery will be in about 6 months or so. Maggi will be 7 years old then!!! Can you believe it?? The rod replacement will most likely mean more recovery time, but we’re prepared.
Look for an upcoming Birthday Celebration Event. This will be to honor Maggi’s life and strength, as well as help some other kids! Email us if you have any ideas or would like to help. We’ll be posting the date and location soon, so stay tuned!
Love to you all!!
