10am update

We're still in the waiting room. They give us an hourly update from the O.R., which I just got. A nurse actually calls us from inside. Basically all is well. They are still operating. Couple things that we weren't aware of before this morning. They have to remove some bone from the spine to get at it. In the future, it may need to be fused, but he didn't think so and that Thomas should be able to play sports. There is a possibility that the spine could become tethered again, so we'll have to watch out for that. I'll give you another update when there is something to say.
