Cheesta completes 4 surgeries...

KSTP's 1st News Story about Cheesta below...

Now out of  PICU, she has begun the long recovery process with excellent prognosis thanks to Drs. Lonstein, Mehbod and the entire team at Gillette Children's Hospital.

Below, see precious Cheesta after her various surgeries. She was placed on a ventilator as she could not breath on her own.  When these photos were taken she had many weeks in PICU until she completed her many operations (which she now has come through brilliantly!) and she will soon be fitted with a brace to keep her fused vertebrae in place for 4-6 months until they are healed enough to stay in place on their own. 

                 

                     Hang in there Cheesta!
