Surgery is DONE!!! Yeah God! Tim's lower back was pretty damaged and they ended up having to fuse the entire lower back. Not what we had hoped for. Dr. Oulette said that without the surgery all four lower vertebrae would not have stayed in line. We were very blessed that none of them had shifted since the accident. Total God thing! The surgery did go well. Tim lost a fair amount of blood because the bone was very vascular trying to heal itself. Tim had to receive 2 units of blood during surgery. He is resting quietly.  Dr. Oulette said that "Tim will not like me for a few days!" They expect a fair amount of pain. Dr. Oulette said that Dr. Fassier (the arm and leg surgeon) will be in town at the end of the week. Yeah God! He is very concerned about Tim's arm. It was very hard to even just position Tim for the surgery. Thank you for your prayers! I was never much of a runner and I feeling like we are on our 3 or 4 lap of a marathon :) "You will run and not go weary!" God has got us!!!!
