A Successful Surgery

I am very pleased to announce that Ty's surgery today was a huge success!! He did a great job and the neurosurgeon was able to release his spinal cord and remove a cyst. They are sending the cyst out to get a biopsy, but they are fairly certain it is spinal cord tissue. We anticipated this surgergy to take 6-8hrs, but it was completed in less than 3!! Ty is resting now and we are doing our best to manage his pain. He has to stay flat for a few days...that's tough! His birthday is tomorrow, and I think he'll be having a few visitors to wish him a very happy birthday. To everyone who prayed for Ty and our family, thank you so much! We believe whole heartedly in the power of prayer, and God has answered!!
