Kevin has been having back pain for the last couple of years. In January, it worsened and by April he could only walk a few steps without having to rest. Yesterday, he had surgery to repair his herniated disc. He is already feeling better. Last night he was walking better than he has in months. He is still very tender and the incision is sore, but he doesn't have the leg pain or numbness anymore. I think he will be up for hiking soon!
The surgeon was very pleased with the surgery. He said that it went as best as it could have and that Kevin should recover nicely. Through all of this, we have learned that Kevin is very healthy besides the back. All of the doctors, nurses, students, etc. have made fun of him because of his lame back injury story and because he is so young. Kevin hurt his back getting out of our Chevy Cavalier (sans Isaac). It is a pretty lame way to get injured at any age. ;)
We are very blessed. This surgery has come at a good time and I know that Kevin is in God's hands right now. We have felt Him through this whole process. We are grateful for the prayers and support from our friends and family. Thank you for being there for us.
