January 18th Yvonne had her back surgery. Decompression and fusion of levels T10 - S1. After a week in the hospital she is now in a rehab center to regain her mobility and strength. Lots of kinks and twists in the road to recovery. If you pray, we'd appreciate your holding both of us up in prayer during this journey. Surgeon said it would probably be a 6 month recovery period. We are trusting God is going to restore her to health and heal her wounds (Jeremiah 30:17). I so hate to see my beloved wife hurting like this!
Today is her birthday. Just thought I would share a couple of pictures that I took after I got to Yvonne's room and got all of the stuff up that I brought. Her nurse this morning volunteered to help me carry the stuff into her room and then started singing happy birthday to her. I do believe it made her feel good! The metallic balloons were my original idea. She had asked me to buy her a new toothbrush and I was going to get her a box of Kleenex. So, I put them in a gift bag with some colorful tissue paper and gave them to her as a "gag gift" present. While I was getting the gift bag at the store, I also saw some really pretty flowers and put together a bouquet for her. I really wanted to make her day special!
