Update on Mark

Mark has finally gotten the ok from L&I for the shots in his spine. For those of you that have not been updated. Mark has been out on L&I for 1 1/2 years now. He finally had shoulder surgery in December 2007 to repair a 3 inch tear in the tissue. He has gotten mobility in his arm again but his neck continues to have issues. He had an MRI and it revealed a bulged nerve in the right side of his neck. They have decided to try shots directly into the nerve in his spine to try and relieve the pressure in his nerve so it will heal on its own. He may need three sets of these shots with the first coming on Thursday, April 10, 2008. If these shots do not work then they are talking surgery. He is hoping after all is said and done that he will be able to return to his job that he dearly enjoys doing. Your prayers are greatly appreciated.
