we too did extensive therapy, 3x a week plus worked with him at home, but he still regressed, so even with doing everything that you are suppose to do the child can still regress. I certainly would not put my child through such an invasive surgery and then not do the follow up work!

I hope that you find the answers that you need. Take your time, talk to lots of people, get 2nd and 3rd opinions. Good luck to you.

Which again reminds us that every child is different........If your not comfortable yet..keep looking and asking questions. I did research and waited until I was convinced this was the way to go.(mark was older so I didn't have that long to think about it Dr. Nath wasn't performing the TT 12 years ago... and this was the first surgery he has had....and even then as parents we question our decisions........be strong and know what ever you decide that you are doing what you feel is best for your child. Remember we are all afraid or were afraid at one point or another...and we are here to share our own experiences in a healthy, considerate manor wether they are good or bad so others may learn........
I'm sending hugs and kisses......
