update on Robbie

Well, the surgery turned out to be 8 hours instead of four. UGHHH the waiting was killing me. Finally the surgeon came out and gave us the news. While she only had to do some muscle and tissue repair at this time, She is now very concerned about the curviture in his spine. She also told us that he was bleeding too much and that is why it took so much longer. We will now have to see a blood specialist to see if medication is making him bleed, or something else. We will also be consulting with a doctor who speciality is the spine. Robbie has lordosis (sp), as well as some other curviture issues. Anyway, One day at a time is how I have to take this.
He was brought home by Ambulance last night since is legs are braced at 32 inches apart. He is a real trooper, it took so long for them to figure out how they were going to get him in our house etc...
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. hugs Nina
