Good morning everyone. Sara (our daughter-in-law) had emergency back surgery last night. Unfortunately, she slipped on ice and fell on her butt on Sat. and the pain in her legs just kept getting worse. She went to the emergency, then the dr. and when things started going seriously numb Thur. morn they did an emergency MRI and sent her immediately to the best hospital and called in the best surgeon and by 5:30 last night she was in surgery.
Seems she had a huge ruptured disc. I did not know that when this rupture presses on nerves and other stuff it does actual damage and they were unsure how much of the numbness would go away or how much muscle use would come back.
This morning she is feeling pretty good, she can walk and has numbness only in places on both feet. We're praising God that she has come thru so good so far -- but more prayers are needed for her complete recovery (Drs. say she won't have 100% recovery), that she heals quickly, and that she is patient and follows orders.
She can't lift anything heavier than a coffee cup for 2 wks. and then she can lift up to a milk carton in weight. They want her walking 2miles by 6 weeks. She'll have to have some rehab too.
This was all so sudden we're still kinda shocky. We have the kids for the weekend and then we'll see how to arrange care and help.
All the prayers will be greatly appreciated. Thx. and blessings to all you too.
