She is such a trooper, and is looking forward to starting middle school this Monday. As a mother knowing your child has to have surgery is quite overwhelming. Dr. Hey and his staff defiantly went above the call of duty to ease everyone's emotions, this also includes everyone in the hospital. From the admitting staff, nurses, physical therapist and lunch ladies. After much research, we decided to travel from Jacksonville, Florida to Raleigh, NC to have the best of the best perform her spinal surgery. <br /><br />Jasmine had two pretty severe curves for an 11 year old. We wore the brace faithfully for a few years with no success. Jasmine hit a growth spurt and the brace did nothing to help her spine. She is tall for her age, and grew about 2-3 inches after surgery. She stands about 5'8. Parents who may be contemplating surgery need to see Dr. Hey. He is the only physician who immediately called me regarding questions I had about Jasmine. Dr. Hey and staff Thank You again for helping our little precious girl. The smile she has on her face when she sees how straight her back is makes everything worth it.Malaikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16476518782621100475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6090003384917229338.post-2758824800847762942009-08-17T09:24:45.814-04:002009-08-17T09:24:45.814-04:00We saw Jasmine last Saturday and she looks great. ...We saw Jasmine last Saturday and she looks great.
