Doctor Marco just came out for the update. She is out of surgery and they are beginning the process of waking her up. It'll still be 1-1/2 - 2hrs before we can see her but he says everything went really well.
The upper curve has been reduced to 1/3 of what it was before (approx 55 degrees). The lower curve was not manipulated and should correct itself over time to compensate for the lesser curve in the top. He also said that the ribs were quite flexible and there was a significant improvement in the rib hump.
The doctor did say that instead of the planned T4 - T12 fusion they went ahead and went up one more vertebrae to T3. Didn't get a full explanation as to why but will be speaking with him again when we go in to see her in the recovery room.
Longest 5-1/2 hours of my life!!!
