Device failure ...

Just wanted to re-cap the last couple of days for everyone ...

On Saturday morning, Sydney's bar "failed". It broke through the two ribs at the top portion of the device. The bottom part of the device is screwed into two lumber vertebrae. There is a prominent "bump" on the upper right part of Sydney's back. She is obviously in a lot of pain, but also does have her good moments. To top in all off, her back surgeon is out of the country until next week. We did see another doctor at his office, but said that he really couldn't do anything and that we would have to wait until her doctor comes in next week.

Also her asthma has been acting up, so we went to see her pediatrician and got some steroids to help with the coughing & wheezing (which obviously made the pain worse).

Until next time,
