On September 9, Ari had her follow up visit with her surgeon, Dr Ain. He found that one of the screws that hold her rods to her spine had come loose. He ordered a CT scan to determine how bad it was. Ari had her scan this morning. She did wonderful during the scan. They basically had 3 ways of doing this. One was to see if she could hold still on her own. The second was to strap her to a special board and see if that could hold her well enough. The third was to put her under. She did it on her own so that went well and quickly.
After looking at the results, Dr Ain is going to have Ari back in for surgery in early October. The screw needs to be replaced and the rod adjusted. It's a fairly minor surgery especially compared to the first. We'll hear soon when the date is going to be.
