Home at Last
Michel is now home and digging through the 15 lbs. of Hershey’s miniatures that her sister sent to her. Here is Michel after looking for (and finding) Mr. Goodbar. You can see that she still has her wristbands from the hospital.
She is feeling better each day but the recuperation is a long process. She had quite the incision in her back. Here you can see the stitches compared to a quarter.
So far Michel has reported some improvement. As the weeks go by and the post-operative swelling goes down and the nerves heal, we are hopeful that we will see big improvements.

My goodness, I had no idea that Michel was having surgery. Looks like it was quite an ordeal and I pray that she recovers quickly and that the surgery was very successful. Please give her my best wishes.

I am very happy to see this, although I must say that I am getting tired of surgical/hospital pictures of you and your family. Go, Michel! I hope you’re getting better already.
P.S. I think of you more as a wide receiver/corner than a quarterback. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.

WOW! Thanks for sending me the link, Tom. All of Ethan’s stitches are on the inside and disolvable. What type of tethered cord did Michel have? Ethan’s was the tight/fatty filum.
