Mom made it through the surgery fine. She will hopefully talk to the doctor today and find out how it went.

Mom is still in the Regina hospital. She was hoping to get home yesterday but the pain was just too much. It'll be at least a couple more days before the doctor would consider letting her go home.

It's Jodi again. Mom is still in the hospital. Now she has company because Kelly is in the hospital as well. Kelly is experiencing some facial paralysis which may or may not be Bell's Palsy. She is waiting for an MRI which could happen this week or next.

Mom is hoping to be transfered to the Kamsack hospital this week. She's still on a lot of meds to deal with the leg spasms and pain. But they've reduced the meds a bit so she's feeling more "with it".

Her phone number remains the same, if you want to call.

It's Jodi again: Update. Mom is still in the hospital. She is looking at 6 months of antibiotic treatment because there was infection in her back. She had a PIC put in today and she actually slept through the procedure.

Mom hasn't started therapy yet. She still has a lot of pain in her upper legs... even though she's on tons of medication.

During her surgery, the Dr. took out all the hardware in her back. He thought maybe her body was rejecting the metal. As a result, she will be wearing a brace, morning til night for 6 months. He is hoping that will heal her.
