WOHOO!

FINALLY! We went to see the Neurologist this morning and the first thing he said when he came in is,
"I can make the pain go away and do the surgery today, want me to see if we can get an OR?"

Lyle replied "HECK YEAH!"

So he told his girls to try to schedule it and came back and explained the MRI results. We went to my parents house and waited for a couple of hours for the insurance company to give the go ahead. At 3pm we went to the hospital and checked in, got the green light at 4:20 and surgery at 4:40. He was done by 5:45pm. We will leave the hospital by midnight and then drive home tomorrow! Quite the whirlwind day! We are so thankful he could get in today. This Doctor usually has a 3 month wait. So this is a huge blessing. The surgery went well and Lyle is feeling SO much better! Thanks so much to everyone for your prayers! They worked!

In the meantime, my friend Stacy who has 6 kids of her own and is expecting her 7th in April has my 4 oldest kids overnight and my 2 youngest are with my brother Craig and his wife Molly who have 4 of their own! I guess I will be owing favors after this :). We are so glad they were willing to help us out so much!
