Follow up UPDATE ...



Here is one of the x-rays of Sydney's back ... we forgot our "real" camera, so this came from my palm pilot (not the best quality). Anyways, you can see the two screws that the surgeon used to replace the "hook" on the device. We initially thought that they were maybe 5mm long ... as you can see, they are longer than that -- A LOT longer than we thought. They are about 25mm or about an inch long.

She got the "green light" to go swimming again and she got her first real bath last night (she'll tell you how much she doesn't like the "sponge bath").

This is just a short post for now ... we'll post again with more details.

Thanks again for all of the LOVE and SUPPORT!

Dear Karen, Sydney, Jeff and Spencer,

Wow, Carole sent me this link so that I could follow up on Sydney's amazing progress. What a brave and inspirational little girl! I will definitely keep your entire family in my prayers. It's no accident that God placed little Sydney in your loving arms. You are devoted, loving and awesome parents!!! And Sydney is incredible with her handling of all of this! You are right...we as adults wouldn't have handled big surgery this way! Take care you guys and God bless you all!!!
