surgery update

We went in Thursday, Nov. 15, at 11:30 in the morning. First of all a very HUGE THANK YOU to Marvin and Denise for taking Jarom and Rachel! Nathaniel's surgery went pretty quick, but we had to wait between 21/2 to 3 hours for him to be put in a room. Apparently, this new hospital, Inter mountain Medical Care, built about 200 rooms, but didn't think they would need it. Duh, what are they thinking when they combine and close the two hospitals. Anyway I sat in the sitting room for 4 hours and around 5 or 5:30 he was finally placed in a room. That waiting room was so packed and the sad thing is only about two of the many families in there waiting was waiting for surgery. Yes we where all waiting on rooms. Anyway, to get back on track, They said "it", I guess doctor Berry meant the disc, said it slid to the one below it and was pressing against two of his nerves. One of the nerves being the one that controls the bladder. He said that Nathaniel did well, and he looked really good. Nathaniel, regurgitated as soon as he came out of it, and started again last night. He also called me this morning and said that he started to have a panic attack and that he still has a monstrous headache. He was supposed to come home today, Friday, but I don't think he will. We will see.

A panic attack? That's not good... sounds like the surgery went well, too bad he's not having the best recovery experience. Hang in there!
