Phil

I forgot to post about my father in law Phil. On the 15th he had a big back surgery. Surprisingly enough they let him come home today. I was so damn nervous! It definitely wasn't something that was quick and easy. He had a 50/50 chance of paralysis. I can't imagine being him. I would be scared shitless. It took them 7 hours to complete it. The doctor also said when a surgery takes that long there is a risk of blindness. Luckily, he hasnt had problems with either if those so far. He seems to be doing very good considering what he went through. The doctor said when he went in thay his hardware was so old and it took him an extra two hours to remove it. Also, there were tendons wrapped around his spine that were cutting off circulation. Talk about freaking crazy! I can't imagine being Phil or even the doctor for that matter. I am so hopeful and positive for his recovery. I am really hoping he can get his life back. Before he went in, he was telling me all the things he wanted to be able to do again. I really hope he will be able to do all that and more! It's funny how close we've gotten just in the past couple months of being here. I've also grown really close with my mother in law again. I can honestly say that I love them so much and don't know what I'd do without them! I missed them so damn much while they were gone! I know Luna did too. She'd sit at the bottom of the stairs and yell for them. It was so cute but a little heart breaking! It's so nice to have them home again.
