Here we go again!! :(

Well, it will almost be a complete year since Scott's last back surgery. Now he has to undergo the knife for another back surgery. Yes... you read correctly. :(

He will have more vertebrae fused together.

Scott's surgery is scheduled for December 10. He will have Lumbar 4-3-2 fused together this time (already has S1-L5-L4). He will have an incision from the back AND the front this time. This surgery will have screws, cages, and plates installed. Yikes!
We are anxious to have the surgery complete & get through the recovery pain so he can be healed. This doctor told him he will never be 100% pain free but he should expect considerable relief after this surgery.

Please keep Scott in your prayers for a quick & full recovery. It's scary to be in a new place & need to have such serious surgery. We are hoping Scott's mom will be able to come help take care of us.... what timing for me to start a new job!! Ugh.
