Uncle Steven had some major surgery last week. We got to see him over the weekend, and we sure hope he is feeling better! He was such a trouper (as was Aunt Robin) to have so much company at his home--including our crazy family for two nights, a baby shower for Isaac on Saturday and many church friends on Sunday.
About 11 years ago, Steven was in a serious wake-boarding accident and suffered an injury to his spinal cord. At the time, his neurosurgeon said it was the worst injury he'd seen without paralysis. (Steven was very lucky, and we all were so grateful to God that the accident wasn't worse.) Steven underwent surgery then, but apparently things didn't heal as they should have. An exercising fall earlier this year triggered the old injury and brought severe and continued pain. There is more to the story, but I don't want to violate any HIPAA regulations. ;o) LOL!
Anyway, Steven has endured A LOT of pain this year, and we hope and pray that this surgery will remedy that. He'll be out of commission for a while longer, but we hope his road to recovery is speedy and smooth.
And ... a stroll down memory lane ... Here are a few photos from 1999 ...
