Thank you for the good news! Prayers continue...
The news today is that Sam has another complication, and cannot have any food by mouth, just the IV nutrition (TPN). The substitute surgeon suggested sending Sam to a large urban hospital, and Sam absolutely does NOT want to go. I understand his feelings, and how powerful they are, and for that reason, I hope he stays where he is. If the worst happened, and Anne couldn’t be with him, it would be horrible; worse for her than losing him. He is frail enough now that an emotional blow could make all the difference.
