Truly remarkable.
What is strange though is that they had to remove the rods from her back and had several surgeries? Since this is a large surgery, they usually do not remove the rods.
Maybe the style surgery she had, posterior surgery (surgery in the thoracic spine) because most times the rods are left in place.
My daughter had the anterior surgery which instead of leaving a scar from the back of her neck to the bottom of her back...posterior surgery (like Jeanette's), it only left a small curve on her left side under her arm. They took several of her ribs out and used them to fuse the extra disc space. but, her rod is still inside her and that surgery has been 17 years ago. Anyway, I am glad my daughter had the doctor she had.
In fact, my sister also had scoliosis and was in a body cast for over 6 months .
