                        My little baby is going to have to have the same surgery.  I am probably just as scared as you are.  The doctor who is going to operate on my daughter is Dr. Nigel Price in Kansas City, MO.  He said this surgery was a much better way to correct scoliosis than a brace.  And that it was much less tramatic believe it or not.  You will do just fine - having an operation is scary to think about but not to go through.  The only thing you will feel is the shot to start the I.V. - after that you will be in a hospital bed with family there to comfort you.  Just say a prayer and ask the Lord for His peace and comfort to surround you -- I will do the same for you okay!?  Good Luck!
