Thanks for the prayers!! God answered!  According to the doctor,
Matthew’s surgery went exactly as planned.  Screws and rods are now in his
back from L3 to S1 to Pelvis… they were able to do a little decompression in
S1 but not any in L5, where a lot of compression is.  Matthew is awake, but
he is still in a lot of pain and has numbness in his leg.  He will get fitted
for a brace, and prayerfully walk a few steps tomorrow before laying
back down.  One day at a time…
