We are at the UC Davis hospital going on day 6 as Ben recovers from a surgery to untether his spinal cord. He has had some minor complications so we are still here....today seems to be looking better. We are still here because he has been having headaches and dizziness which are signs of a possible cerebral spinal fluid leak.
At this point doctors are monitoring him, if the symptoms continue we will have an MRI or CT scan later today and then go from there. There is also the possiblity that the symptoms will go away and we'll be good to go home. The surgery itself went smoothly and he is not having any trouble with the wound. Overall, it hasn't been too bad. I would love to post pics but I don't think I packed the appropriate cord to get them onto the computer so those are on hold for now.
Thanks to all who have had Ben in prayer and in thought; we appreciate all the support!
