Sam, I'm thinking about you today and I'll be looking, when I come home from work, for possible word of how everything went for you.

By now you're finished and my fingers are crossed that all went well and you're waking up to your new seat on the loser's bench. Can't wait to hear how things went and how you're feeling.
And before and after pics...love 'em and can't wait to see 'em!

Samm is a looser! Just talked to Samm's mom..she is a sweetheart. Samm is in her own room now, but out of it! Her husband is there and all seems well.

Knowing her she will be po'd about her NG Tube but she is gonna do just fine.

Had a good chat with her mom, she is quite worried about her having this surgery and chatted with me wondering how life is after surgery.....just as all good moms are...worried about their kids.

Her mom is thrilled with all the concern we have for Samm. She wrote down our names and will convey to Andy when she talks to him later. Andy, her hubby will call later with more news!

Yippeee.....she's on the other side!!!

Yes Lisa I can just picture it.....she will be po'd about the ng tube but she is one tough cookie and she will do great.

Can't wait to check in on her tomorrow.

Thanks for the update Lisa I have been thinking about her all day.
