would like input on these surgeries and symptoms

[Guest guest]

Just got the e-mail from Kim, the Surgical Coordinator at TCI. Buddy,

our 36 yr old son, is scheduled to be at TCI Jan 19th and 20th for

pre-surgical testing and appts and surgery is scheduled for Jan 23rd,

2009. Here's what he is scheduled for. ICT- Invasive Cervical Traction

SFT-Section of the Filum Terminale (cord detethering)

He was originally also scheduled for Cervical Fusion but they cancelled

it because his Dexascan came back positive for Osteopenia and I was told

they can't drill into his bones because they could shatter and leave him

paraplegic or worse.

Please pray for the success of his surgeries and also that we can

reverse his bone loss so he can have the Cervical Fusion done soon. He

is really suffering....pain all over now and when he urinates (this all

started after a dr forced him to give a urine sample last Monday) he

gets nauseated, defecates and his head feels like it will explode. Has

anyone had this happen after forcing a urine flow?

Thanks for all the love and support! Anita
