Update - 8/3. We have been told he is going to be treated for staphylococcus haemolyticus.  He is going to be on IV antibiotics for the next 6 weeks 2 times a day. He is experiencing sensation loss and the doctors are ordering more tests, is still unable to have a BM or urinate. Tomorrow is day 14 for being here, and we are hoping for positive news. I will be out of work for another week at this point. 

Update- He had surgery 7/21. We were told everything went well and he had a small dura puncture. He ended up taking an ambulance ride back to the hospital 7/22 at like 2 in the morning.  So much pain, and tremors. They ened up doing a second surgery, repaing a second dual tear from a bone that was left sharp from the 1st surgery. He has since devolped loss of feeling and control with groin and butt muscles. Days of excruciating pain and uncertainty followed. Here it is Friday 7/28 and he had his 3rd surgery. I have not left his side and been unable to work since the 1st surgery. If i was not here with him I could not imagine how much worse his pain would have been. It has been tough dealing with incompetent Doctors and streatched thin nurses. We have changed his doctor to one that listens and cares. He is on bed rest for almost another week. At this point I have no way of covering my bills or even affording food while I am here with him while he is recovering. We are hopeful this is his last surgery and he can move forward with life. 

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this. I'm reaching out for help for our family of 3. My loving, hard working husband has been unable to work due to a back injury since April and it requires surgery.  We are waiting for his back surgery date which is in late July. He will have 6-8 weeks post op healing time, as long as everything goes as planned.  We are needing assistance to help cover bills until he is able to go back to work. Any assistance/share would be greatly appreciated.
