Dave's surgery was a success. That's what the doctor tells me. They were able to reconstruct his spine and clean out his back so the nerves aren't being pinched. He has numbness in his bottom lip from anethesia that we are praying goes away and tingling in his right leg that was not there before. The doctor doesn't seem concerned about his leg, saying it is normal but they will watch it just in case. But the lip is weird. It is still a bit swollen so we hope that once the swelling goes down the numbness will go away and all will be normal again.
At this point in recovery, Dave is up and around but still in serious pain. He comes home tomorrow, December 20th. I am so glad he will be home for Noey's first Christmas. He is still regretting doing the surgery at this point because of the pain but I think everyone questions those type of things when they are hurting so bad. It was surgery or paralysis and I think in the end he will be glad he chose surgery.
Noey encouraging Daddy!
