SURGERY 44 ..THE HEALING CONTINUES

Hi everyone,

Brent came out of surgery fourty four at approximately 12:45 p.m. Doctor reported that everything went well. The procedure went great and as expected. Here are a few details:

  • the lump located on his back was taken out
  • scar tissue was cleaned out
  • with the assistance of a neuro navigation system the medical team did an outstanding job
  • two rods were placed in the lower area of his back (T12 and L1)
  • four screws were put in place (screws are 45 mm in length x 5 mm in width)
  • pulse during surgery was consistent and steady
  • Brent is in recovery and there are some pain issues

The procedure took longer than expected, but with great results. Brent will be back in his room sometime today.

Brent is in pain - please pray for a quick and smooth recovery.

Thank you for your continued prayers.

Keep hoping.Keep loving.Keep praying.

That is so awesome that everything went well and they were able to fix what was needed during the surgery. Greg understands the pain you are feeling and I think he is cringing as I type this. Scot and Cary, hang in there and keep pressing in. You have come so far and God has amazing things ahead for you guys and Brent.
