Roll over Roll over, Mackenzie roll over....

All the work to be done on the anterior has been completed and closed, they have rolled her over and are busy now flexing and straightening her spine connecting the rods that will run down either side of her vertebrae and screwing them in to place.  We are elated that they have been able to continue the surgery.  There was concern that she would not be able to complete both sides of the surgery at one time since she is so petite.  If they would have stopped it would have meant she would recover for two weeks and then proceed with the back.  What a relief, keep good thoughts, she still has 3 1/2 more hours to go!
