Yay! Mackenzie has been released from the hospital, and we are settled into the hotel. She is resting comfortably in a much cozier bed!
She is still struggling with dizziness and some nausea after she is up for very long, so we are praying this will subside before we leave tomorrow, as there will be no where to lie down at the airport or on the plane.
Dr. Henderson's plan now is to move ahead in the next few weeks with the fusion after a week long trial in the halo, which will be done up here the week prior to the surgery. That means there will be no traveling with the halo, which was a concern of ours.
Thank you all again for praying. I will probably not update again until we get home tomorrow night.
Love,
Mitchell, Lisa, and Mackenzie

yeah! So happy to hear you are out! Hope you feel better REALLY soon!!!
Could the dizziness have anything to do with her spinal fluid? When there's too much, it usually causes headache and increased dizziness when sitting or standing...
Good news! To get into a comfy bed is wonderful after hospital quarters.
We've made many across country flights after surgeries and we have really found that everyone at the airport and on the plane bent over backwards when they found out what we were flying for. Let everyone know WHY you're there and I'm sure you'll be treated well.
The rental car folks even drove us to our gate so we didn't have to get any of the kids on those awful shuttles. Just ask them.
In the plane we had flight attendants move passengers so the kids could lie down if they needed to !
We're so glad to hear the fusion will be sooner than later. A week only in that halo is awesome! This Dr. was obviously a Godsend.
Hope Mom and Dad are holding up and getting some rest :)
Hugs and Blessings,
Lisa
