NSICU Boone Hospital Center

Mom went in for a major surgery yesterday morning. Dr. Bonderant did the surgery it took about 6 hours. The bone that is broken L9 in her back slipped and was resting on her spinal cord. This became very serious, that is why mom was in such serve pain. This could have effected her movement in her legs. So the Doctor wanted to operate as soon as possible. He put in 2 rods and 8 screws in her back.
Mom is now resting in ICU at Boone and will be there roughly 3 days. Shawn, my brother and his family came down yesterday morning right before mom went in for surgery. This is a tough time for our family, we are all praying for moms healthy recovery.
