Dear Friends: Please pray for Buzz as he will be admitted to the hospital tomorrow for hernia repair. The doctor only expects to keep him overnight, for which we are thankful. The hernia is quite large (and 'scary' to me!)Pray that the surgery will go well, please!

The PEG tube site appears to be healing without any complications!

As previously noted, Buzz has been going to Physical Therapy for treatment of his 'dropped' shoulder. Today, the therapist informed him that his shoulder is DISLOCATED. The sad thing is that he has suffered silently since his surgery on July 19. AFTER he recovers from the hernia repair, the therapist states that his shoulder can be 'relocated'; then, I believe that we'll be able to see rapid progress in his recovery! (His 77th b'day is December 18)

God bless you all!
