Thank you all

[ScoliSkye2]

Ok :) we are as ready as we can get. We had a great meeting with Dr. Laufer this evening. Skye was like MOM:eek: when he said okay what are your questions for me and I pulled out this big typed list in 16 font :D LOL whew! He was like no Skye its quite ok if she didnt write it down she would forget :rolleyes: So I asked away, mostly about exactly what he would do (exactly) well.......:eek: I liked that he was very thorough because I think he understood that - that is what I required. And he spoke quickly and over Skyes head technically as not to cause any raised eyebrows ;)

Anyway we are all feeling pretty peaceful right about now. So we are going to heat up our Chocolate molton meltdowns from Applebees braid Skyes hair - Do the ole "E" thing :p ,get in the bed, watch a movie pray with her and off to sleep.

I will be in touch

Three hours. We are waiting to see her :) the Dr. said she did very well! He is pleased with her outcome and thinks she will be too. I asked if business as usual. He kindly said Never business as usual!:) But all went well and straightforward!.

I will have followup later

HOW MANY WAYS ARE THERE TO SAY THANK YOU NSF FORUM PARTICIPANTS!! We felt the love and prayers and drew great strength! and I didnt have to take a Xanax and THAT is real big.. We trust a REAL BIG GOD!!!

I will now focus my prayers on her pain managed, infection free recovery!:)

Gurl,
No shame in taking the Xanax and it's mild and nice. I didnt need it but hey I am not the one having the surgery... just the mom. :p thanks for the prayers! I know God heard them all and answered!:D

[ArabianFancy]

haha, I am not the one having surgery either. Just the old X-Ray Tech who has seen too much and Mom, who is worried to DEATH:eek:. Mandy is doing GREAT..........

OH YEAH! that right :eek: well girl Use those Xanax - note: as long as I was FBing (facebooking) or NSFing... I was okay as soon as someone called me and I had to talk to them my breath started getting heavy and I began to get light and knew the hyperventilating onset... so I stopped taking calls and doing ok with Text updates :-)

All is going to be wonderfully well for you and Mandy!!! you are ready and equipped! and I SURLY will be praying! the Effectual Ferverent prayer!:D

Karen,
great news! I'm so thrilled all went well. I'm thinking of you both. She'll be out of the hospital in no time. 3 hours---that's so quick! How many levels did they fuse?

:) I am all ova da place :p don't know if you saw my reply they fused T11 to L2 and added a "Cage?" right above or within L2 (gurl... :confused: I don't know what that means but think it has something to do with flexibility. Dr. L will elaborate at our first Post-Op office visit.
