Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. There are so many of us out here who will be thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way and understanding what you are going through. I had my decompression in 2000. I'll be anxious to hear how everything goes with you. Im sure you will come out just fine and be all the better for it. Someone is sure lucky to get to help with all of those little cuties of yours. Whatever you do, don't worry about them. They'll be taken care of by friends and family. Just take care of  yourself and don't over do it when you get home. That will only land you in the hospital again and we know you don't want that! Godspeed!
