The Trials we must face

I am at my moms taking a small break from the hospital so I thought that I would let everyone know what is going on. Adam was at work hanging a banner for there open house and his assistant manager was holding the ladder. The ladder folded and Adam went down with the ladder falling about 12-14 feet. He landed on the pavement on his feet then rolled to his but. As he was laying on the ground he felt pain like he had never felt before in his life. He could not even move. About 4-5 minutes later they called the ambulance and then they called me. Adam had to wait for three hours before they would give him any pain meds. So it was an interesting couple hours. They came back with the first x-ray and they said that it looked very minor and that he would probably not even have to wear a brace. They wanted to be sure so they had a cat scan done just to be sure. They come back and say that it looks a little worse then they thought and said they wanted us to talk to the neuro surgeon. At that point they come in and tell us that he would need surgery that his disc was pushing into his spinal cavity and that he would need this immediately. He got surgery this afternoon and everything went well. He was coming out of it slowly when I left. That is where we are at this point.

The doctor told us some pretty hard news this morning. Not something a 28 year old father wants to hear. Adam will not be able to snowboard, wake board or any other sport that will jar his spine. Because they had to fuze his L2, L3 and L4 discs he has no where to give. We are looking on the positive side of this and thanking our father in Heaven for protecting Adam. I know that we all go through trying times in our lives, and he would not give us something that we could not overcome. MY HUSBAND CAN WALK, HE IS ALIVE. We have so much to be thankful for and will learn and grow form this experience.

Thanks to everyone for all your support. We love each one of you and could not do this alone.
