Zack Surgery!

OK so alot has happened the last couple weeks as many of you know Zack has a bulged disk in his lower back and had very sharp pains down his leg. So we have been going to Dr. Bean and he put on through the process of meds home exercises and nothing was helping I mean nothing even to the point that it was getting worse....So I ended up taking him to the ER last Tuesday night really knowing that there was nothing that they could do but just give him the good meds! MORPHINE!!! And that is exactly what they did it at least got him through the night so that he could sleep..Then I called Dr. Bean office the next day to talk to the MA and see what she thought and she said lets move his appt. up and get him in for an MRI and see what is really going on... So we got through the MRI really hard for him to hold still cause you really have to be still or everything comes out blurry. We had a follow up appt. 3 days later. We walked in to doctors office and he said that he saw his MRI results and it doesn't look good at all and that the shots wouldn't help and that we just need to go right into having the surgery...We both looked at each other knowing that Zack doesn't get paid time off and he would be out of work or any activities for at least 2-3 months!! PANIC!

On the other side of this we were really excited because that meant some relief that we have been hoping for the last 6 months..Surgery was on May 9th 2011 at 4:00pm we where running some errands trying to stay busy and we got a phone call from the Davis Hospital at 3:15 saying that they need to redraw his blood again his White blood cells came back really high at 14 on last Friday from the pre-op..So we jumped in the car and got there and they said that if it comes back to high still then they will have to decide if he can have surgery or not cause that means that there is an infection somewhere in his body and that doesn't help to heal after surgery...All makes Since..... so it came back at a 7 which is normal they started right away getting him ready for surgery it was an hour and a half surgery and then he would be taken to the 3rd floor for recovery overnight..I really wasn't nervous I had tons of family there with me and there support means so much to us...Next thing I knew they where coming in to get me to see him and go to the room with him..He looked up at me and his eyes where blood shot he was feeling good!! He grabbed my shirt and pulled me in to give me a kiss and he completely missed and it happened to fast I couldn't make sure to aim right....He said right away that he was feeling better which we had been told before that you feel better immediately after cause the bulged disk isn't pinching his nerve anymore which is scary cause most people think that they can just jump right back into the daily stuff cause they feel so much better. He was able to get up and walk around and eat something and keep it down so he got to go home the next morning around 10:30am. Dr.Svagr was the surgeon and he said that he recommended that Zack find a new line of work cause this surgery is something that happens to 40+ year olds...I had the first week off with him and was able to watch him and make sure that he really takes it easy.. He has been ok he was feeling some pain yesterday and so he just layed down and did nothing....Stay Tuned Pictures to come!!!

On top of all this the baby plans have been put on hold for now and it has been a hard thing but I have come to know for myself that this is why we weren't getting pregnant there was something else that was needing to happen first and someone knows that I couldn't be pregnant and help Zack get through surgery and through the recover! Zack said that we will be starting again without a doubt!! LOVE HIM!!

We had Mal's BABY SHOWER yesterday it was alot of work but she loved it and she got a ton of stuff! Lots of family support!

Will post pictures Soon!!!
