Best wishes for a quick recovery for your wife and added patience?energy for you.
I have a neck full of titanium from four fusions done over the years and have had MRI's since with no problem, but the neck doesn't bend as well as it used to. I havn't flown since before 9/11 so I can't speak to the security thing.

May all your blessings be the ones you want and your friends many and true.
