Hey all,
Just wanted to give everyone a shout and say thank you for your concern, thoughts and prayers and let you all know that Chris is doing pretty good and is going to be ok. For those of you who don't know, he fractured his back (T11 and T12) during practice at Loretta Lynn's, the last national race. Was a great first year but not quite the finish we planned on
Doctors originally wanted us to consider a newer procedure where they can restore the lost height and immediately decompress and stabilize the fracture but the surgeon said No, No, NO, was NOT necessary, so again, we were thankful!!
Instead, we were given the standard "6-8 weeks with the back brace and extremely limited activities.....monitor the fractures and complete healing". So, Chris is about 2 1/2 weeks into the healing and going crazy already, lol! What to do?
Anyway, thanks again for your thoughts and prayers - keep 'em coming for a speedy and full recovery!
Julie
