Today was Santi’s one week follow-up appointment and it was a good day! Santi was nervous and wouldn’t smile for me in the waiting room, which is very unusual, but considering what he’s been through, we do understand. He relaxed with x-rays as this is something familiar…..
The great news is that the x-rays showed an improvement in the curvature already! One curve that measured 99.8 degrees now measures 93.7 after only one week of traction. I thought it was pretty amazing and Dr. Hanff was also very pleased. Dr. Hanff is pictured below with Santi after a brief talk with us…he is assisting Dr. Woo on this case and we like him very much…….

A surprise addition to our good day was being able to see an old friend….Gary. We grabbed a picture with him also after we needed to pick up a five-pound weight at the hospital. Gary constructed Santi’s Risser cast several years ago. We became immediate friends and he, one of Santi’s favorite people at Shands.

God is answering many prayers for Santi. Thank you for joining us!
