Update: Samuel's surgery and Kalisi - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Samuelsmommie · 01-15-2013, 01:29 AM

Hello my fellow YT sisters! Oh how I have missed you all. I'm sorry that I have been away for so long, but I've had a really hard time dealing and coming to terms with Samuels condition and his surgery. We will be taking Samuel who is 2 years old to the hospital for brain surgery in just a few hours. I'm still up, mind racing and can't sleep, despite my family trying to get me to at least lay down. My mind just won't slow down long enough to let me rest right now.

I've talked with Jacqui and promised her I was going to try to get on and start a thread that she or I would be able to update my YT sisters and brothers on that wanted to be kept up to date and follow along for up dates on Samuel. We have to be at the hospital at 5:30. Surgery will likely start at 7 AM and will last about 4 hours. After talking again with the neurosurgeon yesterday at his pre op and having her go over the procedure and the seriousness of it again, I just ask that you please please keep my precious little boy in your prayers.

Thank you all again for the emails and outreach for those of you who've gone out your way to contact me. I'm so honored that my little Sam has touched to many people in such an awesome way! Thank you also to those of you that reached out and contacted Jacqui to check on us.....

I will also post a recent picture of Kalisi ASAP. My little Diva is stunning to say the least and oh so spoiled. My family members that have just gotten into town are already wrapped around her little paw lol just like the rest of us are. She is still a very good puppy, but a handful as well lol. She is still weighing in right now at a steady 2 lbs.

Again Thank you everyone. If I don't get on to post an update, I promise that Jacqui will, but I will try. I will likely be trying to read some threads and catch up on some of what I've been missing the last month, while we are waiting during his surgery to occupy my mind.... Ok I'm rambling now .... Sorry....

enchilila · 01-15-2013, 02:33 AM

I just said a prayer for Samuel that God will place His Angela around him during the surgery. God is good and faithful and will be beside Samuel the entire time. Your little boy is special and has touched my heart. I will be thinking about him and praying this morning for a successful surgery. I also pray that God gives you the strength you need this morning and His peace.
