I just thought I'd update and take this out of the other thread where I'd originally posted.
My Cousin's husband was buried Monday afternoon. Just 57 years old.
My Sister's husband came out of surgery about 3PM this afternoon. They used some of the bone spurs they removed from his spine to help fill some areas where bone had degenerated. He's already been up and walked into the bathroom, but with lots of movement restrictions.
The Cousin who passed in his sleep Saturday night will be cremated and memorial services haven't been determined at this time. Again, thank all of you for the prayers, vibes and well wishes.
