| Tristan's X-ray with both Rib to Spine VEPTR's. Taken 9/28/2011 |
It took less time for Tristan to heal than with the first VEPTR placement. The doctor had said that would happen, but we were skeptical. It seemed like no time before we were back in Michigan and getting on with life.
Tristan has been enjoying his last few surgery-free months and he was “adopted” by the Rainbow Connection (a wish granting organization here in Michigan.) He was given four tickets to see the Red Wings a few months ago (he kindly took his sister, Mom and Dad with him to the game.) He also was given four tickets to the International Auto Show and this time he took his Mom, Grandpa “The Edward” and Uncle Tim. Here are a few of the pictures of the fun he’s been having around town.
Next week we will be back in Philadelphia for Tristan’s fourth surgery. The actual surgery date will be Wednesday, February 15th. We appreciate your prayers for safety as we travel and most certainly for the surgery and recovery. We’ll post more next week.
We'll leave you with a song and dance from the next Donny and Marie....
God Bless,
Adam, Rebecca, Addison (5 ¼), and Tristan (3 ¼)
Tristan, you are such a trooper. We love your constant smile and up beat personality. We will think of you, Adison, mom and dad during this up coming trip, have a safe travel, a safe surgery and speedy recovery. Mom and dad, let us know if you need help with the house, mail, dogs, cats or anything else.. love, the Twardowski Family.
