Tomorrow's the day ...

The day is finally upon us ... although it's just like any other day for Sydney - I can hear her in her room right now playing & singing. We've kept her up and gave her a really late night snack ... she isn't supposed to have anything to eat after midnight because of the anesthesia. Sydney's gotten all of her meds and we've given her a "breathing treatment" (for her asthma) to keep her lungs nice & clear for the surgery.

Above is her latest x-ray ... 80 degrees. They're not sure what is causing her scoliosis - but if we don't treat it, it will only continue to get worse. We are hoping & praying for a successful procedure. The device Sydney will be getting is something that the doctor hopes she'll have until she's at least 10 years old. Also, she will be having an "outpatient" procedure about every 6 months to adjust (lengthen) the device.

Please continue to keep her (& us) in your prayers. Thanks!
