Please send good thoughts and prayers for our family.

My father-in-law, Wayne, went in last April for neck surgery. There were complications and they had to stop the surgery. Every couple of weeks since then, my in-laws have been making a trip down to UAB for tests to be run to decide if they could do the surgery. If they don’t do the neck surgery, any wrong jarring motion could paralyze him. At this time, he can not move his neck much, so it is very dangerous for him to drive since he can not turn his neck, he has to turn his body to look left. They have finally decided to do the surgery on Wednesday, October 28th. The heart surgeon is against it, but if they wait and have to do the heart surgery, they won’t be able to do the neck surgery because he will be on blood-thinners for the rest of his life. Once the neck surgery is done, he will heal for about 6 weeks and then they plan on doing the heart surgery to repair the problem found during the original neck surgery back in April.
