I don't know if any of you have talked to Sue since Sammy had his surgery yesterday, but she left me a message on my voice mail. I tried to call her last night (after nine for free minutes) but couldn't reach her. Haven't reached her today either though I left messages. I will call again at nine tonight. Sammy made it through surgery but it was just a step above of just looking and closing him back up. Sue was crying so I may not have all the details exactly correct but the tumor, I assume the adrenal one, was much larger than they thought. Also something is wrong with his liver. Enlarged and growths, I think. The concensus is he has six to nine months to live and with these little guys it could be much shorter or longer. She just lost Oscar and we ALL know how hard it is for her to accept and deal with losses of her babies. She really gives her whole life to these precious babies God has entrusted to her. Please keep her and Sammy in your prayers and if you're so inclined email her or call her to encourage her. She gets so down having to deal with the Arachnoid and thyroid issue. She's always been there for us whenever she can and is so loving and giving. I'll let you know if I've given any incorrect information and give any updates as I can.
