This was a picture of Mary Graham's back and spine right before her surgery on March 13th. Then below is a picture of her xray before her surgery and then one after with her veptr rods.
It is truly amazing that these rods are inside MG now. The main improvement has been that the rods were able to lift her ribs up and now her diaphram and lungs have more room to breath. It has been almost three weeks since the surgery and she is doing really well. She is still battling pain and her incisions have a ways to go, but she has definitely improved. Although she is very needy (wants to be held most of the time-which makes life interesting), I'm hoping this will get better over the next month as she continues to heal. We will start back physical therapy 3 days a week tomorrow, Please pray for her pain and development of her back and spine, but also her hips that we are still praying are developing properly since that surgery in December. She has lost some of the skills, like sitting up, and will have to work hard to adjust to her new body and work through the pain. It's all part of the process.
Here are some recent pictures below and I believe she will continue to get better, we continue to be thankful for God's hand in everything, as these days have not been easy. Her progress is truly a miracle to me, to see how far she has come, and your prayers are such a part of this miracle.
Thank you, always, for your prayers!
