Monday January 5 Hey Clinic Surgery: 15 yo with severe scoliosis and cerebral palsy

Yesterday we helped Caitlyn, who has spastic quadriplegia with severe
progressive scoliosis.
We did a T5-Iliac wing instrumentation and fusion over at WakeMed in
Raleigh.
She did well during surgery, and we obtained an excellent correction.
Her surgery took about 4 and a half hours, and she was transfused 1
unit of blood, and cell saver.
She spent the evening in the PICU at WakeMed, and will be transferred
to the floor today.
When I came out after surgery, there were like a DOZEN friends and
family there. Caitlyn is well loved at home, and in her church and
school!!
Get well soon, Caitlyn!
