Update for Elizabeth

Great update for Elizabeth's surgery.  She is finished with surgery and everything went very well.  She is in recovery right now and is responding to commands, but is still very sleepy.  The surgeon removed two small pieces of the disc fragment that was compressing the nerve. He said that once they were removed the small pieces, the nerve returned back to where it is supposed to be....I just got back from visiting her and she is awake and talking.  She is in quite a bit of pain, but the nurses are working to reduce it.  I will update again later, but the great news is that the surgery was a success and everything is still intact, so no fusions.  Thank you again for everyone's prayers and support through all of this.  I just want to thank God for watching over Elizabeth through this and helping calm and comfort her heart during this.  He is an amazing God!
