After our son's successful spinal fusion surgery, a moment of deep appreciation for the dedicated medical professionals at Seattle Children's!🙏
The image on the left is the "before." Our son with cerebral palsy had a 70% curvature in his spine, due to muscle tone imbalances.
The image on the right is the "after." Using metal rods, screws, and bone grafts to stabilize, you can see how straight his spine is now! 😮

My wife and I want to share our sincere gratitude to the surgical team, lead by Dr. Jennifer Bauer, who performed the spinal fusion surgery, and Dr. Samuel Browd, who replaced our son's baclofen pump catheter -- and the team of surgical professionals who supported them!🙌

We also want to thank all of the caring and devoted nurses, including inpatient orthopedic nurse practitioner Brenda Eng, doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other specialists who treated us like family during our 6-day recovery at the hospital. 👊

Super proud of our son! 🤩 He's one tough dude – once again teaching me so much about the power of courage, resilience, and determination following his 8th surgery at the hospital.

We're back home now.
Recovering... and feeling tremendously fortunate to have received such responsive, patient-centered, and compassionate care. ❤️
