Laurie's Back Update

10 months ago my wife slipped while cleaning and felt her back give out. She eventually went to get xray's done on her back. She was told she had injured a nerve in her lower back and it would take weeks, months to heal. Over the past several weeks the pain was only getting worse and more intense. Last week Laurie went in for a MRI and the results came back that she had a hemorrhage disk that was pushing against her nerve cord in her back. We went to a specialist in Portland this past Monday and they scheduled back surgery for this Friday (just 4 days) and yesterday Laurie had her back operated on (L5 and S1 in her back corrected). Dr. Guay was the doctor performing the surgery and he came out to let me know that Laurie's pain was intense when she woke up and she needed more time to recover. I was told that they had to remove bone fragments around the disk and shave away to bone from the nerve cord. I got Laurie home around 7pm and she has been in bed since then. This morning she got up on her own and ate a lite breakfast and then she had fainted. She is now back in bed and regaining her strength. Please pray for her and a speedy recovery. She is optimistic and is looking forward to having her life back and without prior limitations and flexibility. Thank You for those who have been already praying for her and I will keep this blog updated over the next week.
