Tethered cord no more.?.?.?

Sharon underwent surgery to disconnect her spinal cord from it's connection to lumbar 2 via a small band known as the filum terminale. Her film terminale is terminated. Snipped. Fine'. There was a considerable amount of snapback, indicating that there is a GOOD chance that the underlying cause of her brain stem elongation is no more, or at least reduced. Now to wait and pray. She was just out of recovery when I saw her briefly around 9:30 pm.
