Surgery Day, 15 Dec 2014...

The morning started slowly... Got to the hospital at 9am, and lots of waiting. The pace only really picked up around 11:45am. There were all sorts of paperwork to be completed, checks, interviews, briefings, etc.. Daryl is now more or less prepped and ready to go into the OT in about half an hour - more to come later...


Wheeled in to OT at 5:32pm....

SMS from medical team: 6:12pm - Operation started. Patient is ok.  

SMS from medical team: 6:31pm - Screw insertion begun. Daryl is ok.

SMS from medical team: 6:43pm - Screw insertion 50% in progress. Daryl is ok.

SMS from medical team: 6:55pm - Screw insertion 70% in progress. Daryl is ok.

SMS from medical team: 7:11pm - Screws fully inserted. Correction beginning soon. Daryl is ok.

SMS from medical team: 7:27pm - Correction in progress. Daryl is ok.

SMS from medical team: 7:34pm - Balancing in progress. Daryl is ok.

SMS from medical team: 7:51pm - Bone grafting now. Daryl is ok.

SMS from medical team: 7:59pm - Closing the wound now. Daryl is ok.

SMS from medical team: 8:12pm - Operation successfully performed. Waiting for Daryl to wake up.

Wow... we were told operation would take approximately 3 hours - but it only took them 2 hours! Thank you, praying friends.... THANK YOU, Lord!

    Praise the Lord! Awesome news. Thank you, Lord, for a smooth, successful and speedy surgery. We continue to pray for good recovery without complications, for the outcome to be excellent and Daryl's scoliosis condition to be permanently treated and resolved with no adverse effects. We also pray that the Lord will continue to allow Daryl to grow in height and stature in spite of the surgery on his spine, that all glory for this wonderful testimony goes to the Lord.

    Wishing you a speedy recovery, Daryl, we look forward to seeing you run around at Christmas. Get well soon!
