A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

My daughter has been dating a wonderful man and they set the date for August. Several years ago when he was in the military he was injured after walking off a 300' cliff on night maneuvers. The VA has FINALLY decided that since the vertabrae (sp?) in his neck is twisted and he's been pain since it happened and he could move wrong and end up paralyzed from the neck down, that he needs surgery. They scheduled it for April 13th. He's been worried about my daughter Melissa being taken care of if anything should happen to him so they are getting married today at the courthouse. They will also have their August wedding for their friends and family so they get two weddings. Please pray for him for a good outcome with his upcoming surgery. He's pretty scared as they told him he could die on the table or could end up completely paralyzed. The good news is that he has one of the best surgeons in the country doing the surgery with many of these types of surgery under his belt. The doctors back in Virginia didn't see anything wrong. The VA doctor here took one look at the Xray and sent him the same day to a surgeon.

Happily ever after.

Prayers going up for a safe and succesful surgery...and for your precious daughter, too. How scary for all of you!

Definitely will keep him in prayer, especially on the day of surgery.
Aren't they a handsome couple...she is just the cutest darn thing.

Praying for you new SIL and his medical team. Please keep us updated, Karen. Hugs!

Congrats to them on the wedding, and good luck (and prayers) to him on the surgery!

Karen, Positive energy and best wishes coming all the way from Connecticut for your daughter and her husband. A big hug for you too. Peggy

Congratulations to the happy couple! I will keep them, you and the surgical team in my prayers.

Congrats to the new Mother-in-Law! Prayers for the newlyweds and upcoming surgery.

Congratulations to them both, and prayers for a successful surgery with complete pain-free recovery.

Oh yeah, and I expect an invite to the wedding in Aug (since I just know there's gonna be one!!)....might possibly be in the area around that time! Annnndddd....possibly the new SIL has a single friend with a bike that might give a girlie visiting in the area a ride??? Hmmmmm???

Sharon, I will let you know the exact date in August. The wedding will be at a friend's ranch, outside under the trees and yes, there will be lots of bikers there so mark your calendar. Might be your turn next,huh? If you're anywhere nearby you are totally welcome.
