My niece is being taken back to the OR. It is a very long complicated surgery for an amazing and complicated kid. She is in good hands. She is so much stronger than me because I just want to cry. But I won’t. She is having her her rib cage put back where it belongs and her scoliosis taken care of with rods. Know what she said to me this morning? When I see you next I will be 4’4″.
