Our 18 YO grand daughter is in surgery at MUSC-Charleston for a serious condition. She has a birth deformaty with her spine, And looks like a ? on e-xray. Looking at her you see is very normal and lived an active life as a teenager, playing soccer skiing etc. This is not new and Drs wanted to wait until she was an adult to do surgery. Well, today is the day.
There a two teams of Nureo-surgeon doing the surgery, one from neck down and one from waist up and will install multiple rods/pins/screws.
They started surgery at 9:30 this morning are +6 hours in. Last report from OR they think they will be finished within 2-3 more hours. This was 30 mins ago. My wife is down there taking care of youngest grand.
She was accepted into Clemson back in Dec in 1st offers, where she will join her older sister who is a Jr at CU. She has had several blood transfushions and I know what color that is.

She has been in surgery since 9:30 this morning so we are about 9 hours. Drs said between 8-10 depending on conditions I believe it is taking longer to "close up" because of length of suture.
Told my son earlier in text that I haven't prayed this much since Vietnam and those summabithes were trying to kill us..
