After x-rays, ultrasounds, and an MRI, they figured out that he had a bulging disc that had gotten infected. The infection ate the disc and much of both adjacent vertebrae. Luckily, they had a great neurosurgeon on staff who was able to operate the next day. It's been a slow recovery, with a long way to go yet, but he's happy and getting better every day. I've been sleeping on the floor with him every night that I'm home. He's in better spirits than I was after a lesser surgery!



Glad to hear prognosis looks good.
