Austin Carlile Undergoes Successful Surgery, Released From Hospital
Former Of Mice & Men vocalist Austin Carlile was admitted to a hospital earlier this month due to complications with his Marfans Syndrome condition. He has now shared on social media that surgery on his spine was a success and he has been discharged from hospital care.
"[I] have had this procedure 2x on [my] spine. First time [doctors] put me completely under," he wrote in a tweet. "Second [time] I did it with no anesthesia, but low meds. Today was the first time doing it underneath {my] skull through [the] base of [my] neck. The 'CRUNCH' and 'CRACK' of tissue/muscle as [the] needle forced through nearly made me call it."
He shared on his Instagram story the news of his discharge yesterday (Aug. 26). "Thank you all for the prayers & support! he wrote. "Now to sleep for 48 hours straight..."
Carlile recently confirmed his plans to return to music. While in the hospital, he alluded to future plans, saying, "This small bout came out of nowhere and I will leave it behind just as quickly. God has been working immensely in my life and I have been working on new things that I've poured my entire heart into and cannot wait to share them with you."
