Dear Adrian & Samantha,

Adrian, sorry I am so late for joining in. Please know that I wish you God speed and great results from your surgery.

Samantha, when you check the board after Adrian's surgery, please know that you have both been in my prayers and will continue to be during Adrian's recovery.
My surg. was on Sept. 17th and I'm doing great as I am sure Adrian will too.  He is young and strong. I am sure that will greatly hasten his recovery.

God be with you and hold you in his loving hands.
 
Claudia

Thank you all so much for your love, thoughts, prayers, and good wishes.

Adrian was carted to the operating wing at 6:30am and surgery started at 7:30. We just received an update at 2pm from the doctors that everything is going well, but that there is still a way to go.

I am staying positive that everything is going to be just fine. I am sitting in the surgical waiting room with a bunch of friends and family. Such wonderful support from everyone!

I will keep you all posted.

Thank you again...

Sam~

I have just finished reading all your posts and it is amazing that your man is in surgery right now!!!  You sound good in your last post.  It won't be long before you see him in ICU and are able to talk with him!!!!

These surgeries can last a long time as you know.  He will soon wake up and it will feel like it's only been a few minutes...

Take good care and God bless.

Dear Sam,  What a trooper you are to keep us all updated, but hopefully it helps to distract form the neverending hours.  Thank God for the internet especially at a time like this.  I wish you and all your families a bit of peace tonight.  Adrian has his guardian angels and both of you have us.  You two have been in my thoughts all day.  Bless you both and your families, Holly
