Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Well, it has been two weeks since had his expansion and iliac screws replaced with " S " clamps. The surgery went great. No trouble at all. However his recovery was not quite as planned. He had some breathing issues after surgery and was on oxygen for about a week after. He was not SATing well and his breathing became a bit labored. This issue finally resolved itself but he has also been having some significant pain in his thighs. I was scared that it might be a stretched nerve but I think the pain might be getting better on it's own...I hope. The good news is that we got really great correction. Going into the surgery we were expecting that they might get about one CM of expansion but in fact he got between 3 and 4 CM's. Which means that we might be able to go a whole year for ?the next expansion surgery. Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
