Sam has been in his room for about three hours.  He is taking naps off and on. No water or ice chips so that is not fun. At 5 am he can have full liquids. We will attempt a walk (with assistance) in about an hour.  Pain med schedule (IV) 9 pm, Midnight, and 5 am. Love that about hospitals. . . Waking you up to give you sleeping meds.  (Just kidding). We are both pretty excited about the possibility of going home tomorrow. We are still in shock that could happen!  Will probably not send another update until tomorrow. AGAIN, thank you all for the many prayers and good will wishes.  We are blessed to have such close friends and family. It was wonderful to have Elizabeth and Chris here last night and all day today.   Love, hugs, and blessings to all. Pam

HE IS OUT OF OR

Dr. Smith says they saw no areas of concern outside the prostate. Looks like he can go home tomorrow if he does well tonight. Prayers are powerful. God BLESS and thanks to all. More later Pam

UPDATE

The Michael Jackson juice has been administered. Estimated time for surgery 2-4 hours.
Chris and Elizabeth are here. Dr Smith said he would try to get him out of here tomorrow which is NOT what he had told us before. Because we were so far away from home he had wanted him to stay two nights in the hospital. Hopefully, I will have that conversation with Dr. Smith while Sam is sleeping. Thanks again for all the encouragement you all are sending. I am reading them all to Sam and he is quite humbled. More later. Pam
