Countdown

   Unfortunately the countdown has begun. In less that a week Ari will have her next surgery. At least it will mean one more down (with approx 10 more to go). This will be surgery number 7 for her back. We looked in to some newer technology which is supposed to cut down on the number of surgeries needed, but after some back and forth with the doctors, they determined that she is not eligible for it since her curve is too large. So, as of today this is still the best way of handling her back issues. I just hope that eventually she understands why she needs to go through with all this.
