Half way there!

The neurosurgeon, "Dr. B.", just came out (at exactly the 9 hour mark) and showed us an x- ray of Lee's new

"hardware" and said everything went just as he hoped/planned for the fusion. The next steps are to begin waking her up from the extended anesthesia, which many of you recall was the greater challenge in the past, and he hopes to have an update on their progress within the hour. Your continued prayers for that process are appreciated and I will keep you posted!
