our
blessing

Our brave little gal begins her 7 week hospital stay starting March 25th. She will be at Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare, located in Regions in downtown Saint Paul.

JunFen will be in halo gravity traction, followed by surgery to implant some hardware in her back (attached to her ribs and pelvis).

She would love to have visitors. Once we have her tutoring schedule confirmed, we'll post hours for visiting! We also will post a photo of JunFen in halo traction so little ones can prepare to visit her and be familar with how she will look.

If you are visiting our website because you are considering a child with scoliosis - PLEASE don't be afraid :) All the grace you need will be there when you need it! Sometimes children can have part of their time in halo traction at home! It was NOT painful and an enormous help to JunFen. It also provided some great bonding time! Also children with less than a 45 degree curve may not need surgery - others with a greater degree curve may not require halo gravity traction - making for only a week stay for rod implantation - and possibly out-patient for the adjustment of the rods every 6 mos - to a year.

We so appreciate your prayers and messages on this guestbook! God bless!!
