Home Sweet Home

Jason is now home and the surgery was successful.  He had an L5-S1 partial discectomy this morning around 8am.  He was out of surgery by 10am and we were home by around 12:30pm.  He is able to walk and sit again which is SO awesome.  Dr. Dolphin pointed out to us that this is the same level where Jason had surgery in 2008. We thought it was a different level but he reherniated the same disc as before, which I was actually glad to hear.  He also mentioned it was a huge herniation which explains Jason's pain and physical condition the past several days.  Anyway, he is resting comfortably right now.  We have a followup appt with Dr Dolphin in about a week.  Thank you to everyone who helped us get through this including childcare, thoughts, prayers, texts, and phone calls!  MMMWWWWWAAAAA!
