Elliott came through surgery fine he is in recovery now...Dr. expects no problems at this point. He will spend the night at the hospital so they can monitor. They removed a large amount of material and the Dr. expects him to fully recover. They will update me in the morning as to whether he can come home tomorrow or not. Thank you all again for your continued support. I will update in the morning. I am just so thankful that I found this site and all of the help and comfort you all have shared with me
