Sorry to not give the full story, but the short notes are... Dan's tumor in his spine has been pinching his spinal cord. In the last week he went from having tingling toes to numbness from his mid chest down. By Monday he was struggling to walk and had fallen a few times. An ER visit and an MRI later confirmed the tumor was the cause. Dan went in for surgery first thing this morning to have a portion of his T7 and T8 vertebrae, and as much of the tumor as possible removed. We are hopeful that his feeling and muscle use will return. Obviously it's been a hard week for The Tutts. Making decisions no one wants to make. We greatly appreciate all the support and love that everyone has sent. It is truly what carries us through this horror.
I've just been updated that Dan is out and in recovery. We will of course keep you posted.
Penny.
