The surgery went well. I have not seen him yet, but this is the report from the docs:
  • two screws were removed
  • all wounds were closed

Current concern: Dr. Young notes that his back incision keeps trying to "unzip." It is not healing nor is the bone (which has hardware attached to it). This is because he is not getting adequate nutrition. Please pray they figure out a way to feed my husband!! TPN (intravaneous stuff) is not going to take care of his healing needs. He has yet to tolerate food in this handy dandy j-peg. If he does not get adequate nutrition, his wounds will continue to open. Pray hard!
