Sarah has made amazing progress from the surgery that she had in May. It will take another 3 months for her spine to completely heal, but the incision has healed very nicely. Her driving privileges were returned to her at her 6 week check up. She is no longer in daily pain. Instead, she gets sore every once in a while as her muscles are adjusting to being used again. The most pain that she has at this point is from the nerves trying to reconnect and she says it feels like little bee stings. She no longer has the pain that she felt prior to surgery, either!
Due to the surgery, we did not think that she would be able to cheer with her squad this fall, so she did not try out in the spring. However, with many limitations, the doctor has allowed her to be apart of the team. Bo and I approached the coach with this fabulous news and he gladly welcomed her back as a Senior Carrollton Trojan Cheerleader. She will be ground bound and will not be competing, but being apart of the team for her senior year is what is most important. We are so proud to see her in her uniform for one last year!
