Current Question:
	SPINAL SURGERY - HELP!
Our daughter is 7 and scheduled for spinal surgery at Stanmore in June. I don't know what questions I want answered I just feel I want to make sure I haven't missed anything. Can anyone fill me in, help, offer advice, etc etc! We've spent a whole day at the hospital and seen loads of staff but somehow you just want to talk to someone who's been through it all. They started by giving us the really worrying information about risk of paralysation and yes, death,......talk about scary stuff. . . and that's the info that's stuck, I'm not sure I took much detail in after that. Anyone help? Steph

Re: SPINAL SURGERY - HELP!

Hi Steph,

Sorry I'm a bit late to replying. Our daughter has been through spinal surgery with extendable posts in her back. She has had 5 operations all of which scary but it has been really worthwhile. My worries were huge as to how and when and is it really worth it. We live in Holland so there will be differences but as to how we feel and the questions we ask - they are the same. If you want to chat drop me a line.
Take care. Katinka
