We're taking my Dad to an appointment at the hospital this morning. He injured his back a LONG time ago and they have been doing various pain management routines. Today they are going into the nerves by his spinal cord. The doctor thinks this will give him some real relief, however it is not without risks. If there is any bleeding during the proceedure it is emergency surgery. Also there is the risk of paralysis anytime they get close to the spinal cord.


We'll all be glad when this proceedure is over. My mom is so nervous she won't even go. She volunteered to take the kids at her house (this is really unnecessary). It will keep her busy, so they are packing up the school books and heading to Grandmas.


There is also a chance of bad weather today, which doesn't easy Mom's nerves any; another reason she doesn't want to go.


Any prayers today, would be greatly appreciated.


I'll update later.
