Thank you for the prayers and well wishes! Abby came through the surgery well, although she is a little uncomfortable now. Unfortunately, the doctor could not complete the procedure as planned. Instead, he had to do bone grafts to strengthen the ribs before implanting the VEPTR. She will return for additional surgery in a few months after the bone grafts have matured. Hopefully, then the ribs she has will be sufficiently strong to support the VEPTR. Again, thank you for the prayers. She will continue to need them over the coming months.
