Our son, Judah is living with Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy. Judah had a surgery called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy at SickKids in Toronto yesterday. The hope and goal of this surgery is to remove and/or drastically reduce spasticity (tightness) in his muscles. 

The doctor spoke with us and said once he was in there and saw Judah’s muscles, he felt even more confident that this surgery will help him functionally. The surgeon’s exact words were, “we are confident this surgery will relieve the burden of spasticity in his body.” Everything went according to plan and there were no hiccups or setbacks. We are beyond grateful for this surgery team and this surgery! Praise God! He is doing well today and is on best rest to allow for the incision to heal properly. 

Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers over this past while, today and beyond! We are so appreciative for this, your love and support! 

This will be a space to share Judah’s journey with you. Thank you for reading and coming along with us on this journey! 

Prayer Points:

-Judah’s incision will heal well and quickly 

-Rest for Judah as he is on bed rest and for Jesse and I caring for him
