After

And here's the after image ... there's clearly a lot of metalwork in Amy's body now, but you simply can't tell without an x-ray.

Looking from the outside her back is now perfectly straight, and Amy has no sense that there's a couple of titanium rods, various screws and mysterious spikey things attached to her spine. It's a huge testament to modern medicine, materials, the skills of the surgeon, Brad's team, those who cared for her, and the resilience of children.

The other really surprising thing is that we measured her when she went in for the operation on Tuesday morning, and again when she came home today (Sunday) and she's grown 35 mm (I think that's around 1.5 inches) in 5 days as a result of the operation. Amazing!
