Hi Just an update on the 11th Nov 2022 Te Atarangi Stevie and myself Te Atarangi's Nannie Traveled to Auckland to have a face to face with the Spine surgeon and also the Anaesthetist, we have the all clear for surgery now we are still just waiting on a date so Monday the 14th we get that call FINGERS CROSSED EVERYONE that maybe the day we get a date for SPINE SURGERY, We were told lots of things about surgery itself, the spine surgery will be all day long Te Atarangi will have a Cut from the back of her Neck all the way to the bottom of her spine the aim is to get her head inline with her hips by fitting a Rod in her back, the 3 of us will travel to Auckland a few days earlier before surgery so Te Atarangi can be place on a CPAP machine to help with her breathing and get her stronger for surgery and the long recovery after, the Day of surgery that will be one the hardest day's letting her go and not being able to be beside her, every second she will be away from us it will definitely will be heartbreaking a very emotional scary time and super stressful not only for us but for for Te Atarangi herself going through this Life saving surgery, Stevie and Myself will tho have each other tho to cry (there will be tears guaranteed) support, love and care for Te Atarangi while in ICU after surgery and also after on the ward when its safe for her to move, We will still have to have Chest Surgery for the huge Pigeon Chest and also Her Hips too at a later date. will will update more as we know on those xxox.
