Update on Brian

Brian's surgery went great!  They started surgery a little before 10:00, Brian woke up from anesthesia quickly and we headed home at 1:30.  Brian sat at the dinner table with us on Thursday evening and it was awesome (it was the first time that he had been able to sit at the table in 2 months!!)  Each day he spent a few minutes walking to help loosen up the soreness in his back. He went back to work on Monday and has just been doing great!  He still has 5 weeks of restricted activity (not to pick up more than 20 pounds, etc.), but he's SO much better now, restricted activity is NOTHING!!!   Thank you to all who have offered childcare, food and help for us in so many ways.  We appreciate the notes, e-mails, texts and prayers - we are so blessed to be surrounded by so many caring people - we love you all!
