Mike Wachsmuth scheduled for surgery

Michael Wachsmuth, the Garrison firefighter fighting for his life is scheduled for surgery today. Apparently the start time was to be sometime around 9 a.m.

The doctors are performing a biopsy on his lower spinal area. Any surgery to the spinal column is risky. There is a concern of paralysis post op.

No other information is available at this time.

Please say a prayer to give wisdom to the doctor's minds, skill to the doctor's hands, compassion to all who care for Mike, and strength to Mike for a positive outcome.

Peace.

Still no results from the biopsy.
The doctors have confirmed that they are tumors and growing rapidly.
Michaels condition is getting worse,he no longer has movement from the neck down.
