By November we had been through the 911 call, the diagnosis, the kidney surgery, and Thanksgiving, you would think it couldn't get worse. Not! Now we find out momma's neck had deteriorated extensively and was hanging down, literally. Surgery was scheduled for January 15, 2010. However, by this time we hadn't seen the other signals momma was going through physically.
Surgery was at Fresno Community and it was longer than usual but she made it through. But according to doctors this was it, any more would be too risky. They had to put some synthetic bones and pins on her neck which allowed her more mobility and strength in her neck. This was just the beginning of the medical trauma her body would go through. Even though we were breathing a huge sigh of relief, we weren't aware things would get worse for both of them.
Daddy was still planing Idaho, always the optimist.
