13-year-old's undergoes 10 hour spine surgery - ‘We hope it will change her whole life’

“I hope and pray this will be the first step in getting Megan’s life back to normal again after years of pain and agony.”

That was the wish of Limerick mother, Sharon Halvey-Ryan as 13-year-old daughter, Megan, prepared to undergo a 10-hour curvature of the spine surgery at Our Lady’s Hospital in Crumlin.

Today’s potentially life-changing surgery was cancelled earlier this month, despite Megan waiting over two years for the operation.
