3 month post op checkup - what is done? How many more?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone! If you remember my daughter Emma who is 3 had tethered

cord surgery for a thickened filum back in May. She has her 3 month

post op checkup (actually more like 3 1/2 months since it's 3 months

after her 2 week followup) in a few weeks. I'm just curious, what do

they do?

The 2 week post op was nothing. (Literally, I feel like I could have

emailed him a picture of her incision!) Is the 3 month any more

significant? At this point if she's had no problems from the surgery

we should be past the point of complications right? Does she continue

to have checkups every 3 months for the first year? (I think someone

said that) If so for what???? Literally I feel like they ask if

they're are problems, I say no and that is that! Will/do they need

another MRI at some point in most kids/people?
