Lou was taken to preop at 5 p.m. Surgery started at 6:25 and completed at 7:35. Dr. Siadati reported that the surgery went well. He used kyphoplasty on L-3 and T-11 and took a biopsy on T-11 just to make sure there is no cancer problem. After a hour and half in recovery she was brought back up to the room. The nurses turned her on her side to check her back and she did not scream in pain so it is better. She has small pain due to the holes like a puncture wound from the surgery. They have her on oxygen as a usual precaution. If she does as expected she will be released tomorrow, spend the night at Mark's and go home Wednesday.

Thank all of you for your prayers. They have been answered. It even rained in Callahan County!
