Update on Robin

Robin's surgery was successful and they were able to fuse together her 6th and 7th vertebrae. She got out of surgery around 2pm. She is still in a lot of pain and unable to sit up. Once she was out of surgery Todd got to see her and talk to her before we headed back home around 3pm. She will definitely stay in the hospital Monday and Tuesday nights. They will not release her until she is able to walk. We know that she will have to wear a neck brace for atleast 3 months and that she will have a long recovery. Please keep Robin in your thoughts and prayers the next few days, weeks, and months as her body begins to heal. We wish we lived closer and were able to be there with her through more of her recovery. But, Todd and I feel good about all of the family that is pulling together to help her through this difficult time. We are hoping to go visit the beginning of February. Thank you to everyone that has been praying and sending positive thoughts her way.
