Today Santi had his routine checkup at Shands and as always met new people...Santi thinks that's the best part!
Today Santi is at the sixteen pound mark that we were all aiming for, and Santi's doctors are really excited at his excellent progress. In just this past week he has straightened in his top curvature 10 degrees! Wow, that's a big plus for Santi. Dr. Woo wants him to continue with the weights as he's doing so well. We will be adding one pound every other day and doctors will be supervising him with weekly x-rays and checkups.

Keep Santi in your prayers. Dr. Woo told us that after the ten pound mark, Santi would encounter the harder part of halo traction.
