Lucas went under the knife AGAIN!

Lucas had back surgery (a 3 level decompression) back in July...... he was feeling great for awhile, but last week the pain started again. First it was painful in his tailbone area and then the pain kept spreading to other areas such as his lowerback, hip and then the shooting leg pain started happening again. He was sent to get an MRI done and then on Monday afternoon he saw his surgeon and received the news that he would have to have a disc completely removed and a fusion done on Thursday! Yikes! We panicked a little about such a large surgery again and then made arrangements. Lucas called his mom and dad who were on the road at the time and then Nancy hopped a flight from Ontario, CA and flew into SLC Wednesday night. She is taking care of Emma and Nathan at home while I go back and forth to the hospital with Ava. Thank you Grandpa and Grandma Gunderson for making arrangements to help us out on such short notice!!

Before Surgery - Emma loves that he has to wear white tights!


After surgery.....

Resting with Ava
