Please Pray for Daddy


My Dad is having a lot of trouble with his back. The diagnosis is spinal stenosis- basically the bone is shrinking around the nerves that come out of the spine. He has been in tremendous pain. On Monday her turned in the shower and felt shooting pain go down his leg. Mom got him into bed and then called 911 and the ambulance came to get him. At the hospital they gave him several shots of a medicine which is supposed to be 10xs stronger than morphine but it really did nothing. He has been in the hospital 2 nights and it seems like they are keeping the pain manageable for now. He still hurts but not that shooting debilitating pain. They are going to try physical therapy and pain management. I guess as a final attempt to help, they may try to do surgery which is "not recommended". We were all supposed to fly to Florida for my niece Aubrey's ballet recital next week and now it looks like Mom and Dad will not be able to go. Please pray!
