Levi just got word from the neuro - specialist doctors that they are going to do the surgery on his neck. They are going to fuse C3, C4, C5, C6, and possibly C7 together. This will reduce the mobility of his neck by about 50%. It will also strengthen his neck to reduce the chance of him becoming paralyzed later since he has multiple fractures of those vertebrae. He is going to go to surgery at 3pm, surgery can take 3-4 hours then he will be back in the ICU for a couple of days for recovery. He will have to wear a neck brace for at least 3 months after the surgery. They are hopeful that this will get rid of his arm and hand pain also. Any questions feel free to email. I will try to keep you all as up to date as possible... Love you all and Happy Valentines Day! Now is a good time for lots of prayers :)
