Mom - Update #3

Today was a much better day for connecting with doctors and receiving information.

Mom will have an outpatient procedure done on Wednesday. They call it surgery, but there is no incision made. She will be sedated, have a very thin needle inserted into the compressed vertebra and concrete injected to reshape and "reinflate" the vertebra. Amazing what they can do! The doctor said 85% of the people walk out of the hospital pain free, some have come into the hospital in wheelchairs because they couldn't walk. He also said that many times the GI problems she's expressing are caused by pressure on nerves in her spine. My hope and prayer is that she will be one of the 85% to be pain free and the GI issues are related to the spine. We should know Wednesday.

I'm planning to leave for Mesa Friday afternoon and be there all next week. Hopefully, I'll be able to return the following Friday because she will be able to care for herself and feel great!

Please pray for God's healing touch on my mother and the doctor's steady hand during the procedure.
