Sarah's Surgery

Sarah had back surgery on May 22...

Fusion of the L3 and L4 vertebrates and relieving the pressure on the nerves between L3 and L2...

Surgery was started at 7:30 AM and was four hours. Our pastor, Bill Jones, was there before Sarah was taken to OR and stayed with me the entire time. Brooke arrived about 10:30 and was stayed until late that afternoon!

I have never seen anyone as sick from anesthesia!!! Nothing they gave her seem to work. No sleep and constant nausea & vomiting continue through the entire night shift.

It wasn't until Tuesday morning about 10:00 that she got any relief and we got some sleep.

Brooke and Kyle had driven to the house to retrieve her back brace (they weren't releasing her without one).

Physical Therapy came by about 2:30...If you can walk, you can go HOME!!!

She did! (and the Oscar for Best Performance in a Hospital Gown goes to....)
