We talked to the neuro Doctor and after he viewed the results of the MRI today, my husband is going to have surgery on Wed. instead of waiting until Thurs.
The MRI revealed that the bone fragment that is poking into the spinal channel is not as big as they thought, so the surgery won't be required from the front as well as the back... so that is good news. After they remove that piece of bone, they will fuse the broken vertebrae together with the one above and the one below putting in titanium screws and rods. He'll have a brace on for months, and need therapy and be off work for a couple of months...BUT, he may be home from the hospital as early as this weekend.
So for now...we are taking it one day at a time... his surgery and recovery time may take as long as 6 - 7 hours.
Lord, guide the doctors, nurses and all who will be care givers, bless John and his speedy recovery, and the family as we take care of him too... asking this in Jesus Name. Amen.
Thank you all for your calls, comments, prayers, love and well wishes.
Relatives and friends are wonderful to have in times like this..and we are thanking God for you and your support.
With Love & Gratitude,
ALL of us!
