The surgery went well. There was no evidence of lingering infection, which is great news. The surgeon removed 2 discs and 1 vertebra and replaced them w/ artificial materials and a metal plate. He is considering not doing the second surgery scheduled for October 9 because:
1) she still has a slipped disc, but he thinks that all the pain she was experiencing was due to the problems he fixed today, and
2) as things are right now, she shouldn't lose much mobility, but the second surgery would limit her mobility a lot more.
Currently, his plan is to wait and see how she feels. She may go home as early as Saturday.
Thank you for all your prayers! Dad is not able to stay in her room tonight because she is sharing, so please pray that she has attentive nurses who can provide whatever care she needs.
