Update

Maria's procedure is going well. We have been getting updates every 2 hours from the nurse. The instrumentation is done (the rods installed on either side of her spine). They are going to let us know when they will start closing. That will take about an hour and a half. Then they have to "wake her up." that will take about a half hour. So we are hoping to see her at 6:00 this evening. We will also see xrays of her corrected spine for the first time. --bill
