My dad was in a car accident a year and a half ago. Unbeknownst to him it injured a bone fusion that was done to his neck from a previous surgery done 20 years ago. It caused a protrusion that almost severed his spinal cord at his neck. When the Doctor saw this a month and a half ago he said to not do anything at all physical because it could cause it to move and end my fathers life (suffocation). Needless to say this was extremely serious. All this was found by accident. They were looking for the source of back pain my dad was having (also from the wreck). Turned out on one of his vertebrae he has something between the bone and spinal cord. This has to be removed, but the neck thing was life threatening. My dad underwent surgery this morning. There was a possibility that he would never walk again if this surgery didn't go well. I am happy to report that the surgery went well. He made it through OK and will have to rehab for a few months before he can have another surgery to fix the vertebrae issue. God answered my family and my prayers. God is good and His grace is sufficient for me. Thank you God for answering my prayers.
