Please keep Hannah, Todd, and Samuel in your prayers. Sam was originally a patient at Hannah and Todd's local hospital, but was transfered yesterday to a larger children's hospital. The muscle between his stomach and intestine is enlarged, causing him to be unable to digest any food. The poor little guy throws up everything he eats. He is currently on an IV for hydration, and will be undergoing surgery to cut the muscle this afternoon. Please pray that Sam would be able to have the surgery soon (there is a rather long list of patients before him), that it would be successful, and that Hannah and Todd would have peace.
Update: Samuel is out of surgery now. He made it through just fine. They're counting the hours to get him through doses of Pedialyte, sugar water, and then finally back to milk. Mom says Sam's penetrating eyes are just saying, "Can we please be done with this now? Can you please just give me some food?" Poor baby. Their tentative time for checking out of the hospital is tomorrow night.
