No surgery just yet

They are unable to perform the surgery he really needs to address the hernia issue, which is causing a considerable amount of pain. It has to do with poor blood clotting and the high risk surgery would pose to his life.

They've given him some pain meds through an IV as he still can not take anything orally and he is still very nauseous. This is day 3 of nothing staying down.

Surgeon and his Specialist will be speaking to us later this afternoon. He still has some humor and on the phone with Uncle Joe Arias he said "You calling to play some tennis?" Aside from the pain, he looks okay.
Prayers continue....

Oh, that dad - - phone tennis.
As Kathy would say, I was laughing so hard milk came out of my nose...
Now I know where she gets it.
Phone tennis....really.
Even in the midst of all of this...

What lessons we are all learning by having these special moments relayed to us all...
Thank you so much for sharing so much...
