My son is having surgery this morning. I'm in Detroit for a while to help him recover. He's having some poorly healed bone removed from this spinal column, then they're going to put new rods/screws in his back - at the FRONT of his column (like against the inside of him). Think of the photo at the top of the blog and move the hardware to the inside of him. Yes, this is a MAJOR surgery - possibly two. In the hopes of finally relieving some pain and helping him to be straighter.
Keep us in your thoughts, please. Upside? I always loose 10 pounds when a family member has surgery - and that happens way too often.

ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine what your son, you and your family have, and are, going through since he was injured. I know someone who lives cloes to me whose son has spinal cord injury, and see what she goes through to make sure he's taken care of. He lives in Novi, with an attendant. Best wishes to all of you, and of course,prayers. Be well.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with you and your son!
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts and prayers for your son and family.
