Kyphoplasty Update

Gotta love these new words!

Since Tom had already eaten breakfast this morning, he could not have the surgery today so he is going to have it tomorrow.  I don't know what time - hopefully in the morning.  He seems to be OK with it so that's good.  I hope his ammonia level is even lower tomorrow - sometimes the anesthesia can mess with that. 

That was all the info Tom had at lunch.  I'll try to catch his nurse this afternoon for any more details.

Addendum:  Tom's surgery will be around 9 am tomorrow.  They are going to do something called Vertebroplasty instead.  They can sedate him for it instead of putting him to sleep.  The anesthesiologist has come by to get the authorization forms signed.  Tom will have to be on his stomach for the procedure.  That will probably be uncomfortable for him.  Prayers requested.
