Happy New Year everyone! Today was Andy’s surgery. Dr. Camponelli told us it would last about 3-4 hours. They were supposed to go in clean out whatever debris and fix whatever they could. Because the results from the MRI were inconclusive, they didn’t know (and were probably expecting) if his spinal cord was in severed. Well, after 5 hours of waiting, Dr. Camponelli finally came out and gave us the news.
After opening him up, they discovered that his spinal cord was NOT severed!!! Praise God!!!! He said that it was only damaged on the right side!!! He also said that they were able to go in and fix his 6th and 7th vertebrae, clean up the area where bones may have chipped and place steel rods and screws to help him heal. So he’s all sewn up and tubed up for now but he’s healing quickly!
