Oh, I am SO relieved to see the surgery is done and she is ok!! Please hold out hope that she will walk again!

As I mentioned previously, my Maxwell had surgery for two herniated discs. When he went in he was unable to use any of his limbs.

He had some complications with CT following the surgery and could not be extubated. The next day they did a trach on him and I was heartbroken. I begged to see him in the ICU and they finally relented. This was on day two after the surgery.

Well....I went in and put my hand in to touch him. He sniffed my fingers and to my total amazement, he stood up!!! I will have that moment etched in my brain forever. He was a tough little guy and within a few days they were finally able to take the trach out. I had two more wonderful years with my beloved Maxwell!! We did rehab on him at home. He needed to learn how to walk again and it was just amazing to watch his recovery. He was much older than your little Layla. I am going to pray lots tonight that she will walk again!!
