Boy who lost his dad on 9/11 is facing a tough future.
After tears and anguish, 6-year-old Aidan Fraser and his devoted family took comfort in a mini-miracle yesterday when doctors successfully completed the first half of a complex operation to restore the boy's fragile spine.
The feisty Brooklyn boy - who lost his father on 9/11 - endured an eight-hour procedure to correct a sharp, backward bulge in his neck caused by tumors that threatened to crush his spinal cord and paralyze him.

"It went spectacularly," said Dr. Rick Abbott, one of the five senior surgeons at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx who took turns working on Aidan. "It went about as smoothly as you can ever imagine."
