Surgery Done

A little late on the update, but Trinity was done with surgery around 11:00 and did great! The surgery ended up taking around 3 hours. She's resting comfortably in her room and they are controlling her pain with Tylenol and Oxycodone. Every time she goes through something like this I am always amazed at how well she tolerates the pain and can handle using oral meds verses IV pain meds.
They only had to open a little less then half her back up to revise the rod. They used two hooks and then a tethered tape to wrap the rod around the bone. They feel like this will help keep it better secured. They are going to add to her TLSO (abdomen brace) an upper part that would extend up to her chin. This will give her added support so she don't bend forward and put pressure on the rod. This will be interesting since she has to wear the brace for 12 more weeks, but we will do what we need to to keep it from detaching again. For today she has to stay laying flat until they get the brace adjusted with the new attachment. They are hoping if all goes well she may get to go home Friday. We are crossing our fingers!
Thanks again for all the prayers and support!
