Scoliosis Surgery for our 11 year old daughter Gaelle

  • Gaelle is a star patient.

    Gaelle has come through the surgery with flying colors. Her curve has been reduced from 54 to 19 degrees and as she grows it will only get better. And her recovery has been second to none. She is up and walking with no issues and the doctor said of the 60 odd patient's so far none has recovered and mobile like Gaelle. We couldn't have been more happier with the results and so glad we opted for the ASC procedure with Dr Olaverri. He has been amazing.

    Just a quick note to say Gaelle is now under the watchful eye, and very skillful hands of her amazing surgical team. We met all her doctors this morning. But the only thing Gaelle was worried about was the needle. It has been a very emotional experience this morning.

      Hi Gaelle and everyone.

      Looking like your up for it Gaelle, what a champion !

      Not so easy for parents to hand over one of your children to others in situations like this.

    Bertha and I would like to thank each and every person who has supported Gaelle's cause. The response here has been more than we have ever imagined.

    Gaelle is booked in for her surgery on the 18th of February in Barcelona. She is to be checked in the hospital on the 17th for tests and scans, and surgery the following day in the afternoon.

    Gaelle is not allowed to travel for at least 3 weeks after the surgery, if all goes well.

    We will be posting more updates here on Gaelle's post-op journey.

    Please keep her in your prayers.
