Back surgery went well today

She cried as they took him away. Can you imagine what you go through as a mother in this kind of situation? The back is so critical to mobility and independent living. Still haven't gotten the download from Lorrie besides the surgery went well as planned. Which is exactly what you want to hear after a back surgery. X-ray below shows the before pic. This boy was broken. One piece at a time. He's hanging in there. Lots of pain and discomfort, in fact he screams in pain most of his waking hours. His system has got to be so overloaded. With so much trauma, where does ones control center of the rain send healing first.

Thank goodness for Lorrie & Cara hanging in. Very trying but their love and devotion to Tommy is remarkable. Dad arrived this week to help with logistics. Which is quite an ordeal as you can imagine.
