Randy’s Story

Site created on March 6, 2019

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. In support of Randy's healing journey, we would appreciate you utilizing this resource to stay informed. Thank you for visiting.

Randy is having major back surgery this Friday, March 8th at about 7:30am at TriCity Hospital in their special Spine Surgery Center. 
He could go in a little later and we expect the surgery to last 2-3 hours. We have a high level of confidence in his doc and his team. We expect him to come home on Sunday or Monday.

You may or may not be aware that Randy has been in pain for a number of years and we finally got a solid diagnosis and expect this surgery to return him to a vibrant active lifestyle, however recovery will take some time, and it is important that he withdraw from his very social activities and focus on his recovery.

I will keep you informed via this site of his recovery. 

Thank you for being in our lives and all your loving support!
Deb
