Lizzie was told "go for it." Not being able to ride roller coasters was one of her least favorite things about having an avm. Now she's just waiting until she can easily transfer from her wheel chair into a roller coaster seat. That may take a while.

I wouldn't suggest Andrew ride any wooden coasters yet...those are the ones that rattle the head the most. The smooth metal coasters with the hang-from-the-top features seem like the best bet for a smooth ride. Isn't being a parent fun!?!?!

I had an AVM removed through a crainotomy and was told not to do anything jarring for a year. it takes a year before the bones to grow back together. I have gone on mild rollercoasters about a year out of surgery and was fine, although i have never gone on an upside coaster since my surgery.
