Would you like some steel with that?

X-Rays

There is a lot of steel in my kids back!!

The first picture is the upper part of her back, If you look close you can see her vertebrae in between the screws.






The middle picture is a side view of her lower back.





The last one is a view of her pelvis from the front, you can see the rods on either side of her spine and the screws that anchor the bottom into her pelvic bone on either side.

  2. Wow! As a parent, it looks terrifying, but at the same time, it sort of looks like a miracle, if that makes sense.

  15. She is certainly a trooper. I feel like quite the wuss right now. I am totally impressed that you are getting any sewing done with her in recovery from that kind of work.
