Doctors at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Mia- mi, known for having one of the best spinal cord units in the U.S., operated on Alexis Thursday to fuse and pin together the verte- brae in her neck, Although the operation went well Chicoine said the major concern is whether or not Alexis’ spinal cord will scar or be- come infected. .. “There is no guarantee she"ll have use of the low- er part of her body,” he said. “But she’s expected to get 80 to 90 percent use of her hands back over time.” His mother, sister and Rolf’s parents are currently in Miami with the couple.
