In theatre as I write

Sam is now in theatre, where hopefully they can re-position the PICC line (he currently has) back into the right artery. If they can't they will have to put a new PICC in his other arm, which means the vein he is now using (which has the migrated PICC in) would be defunct. It would be great if they can make the current PICC work, as each vein is vital for him.

We had an ok night in Starship even though Sam was clearly getting cranky as has been nil-by-mouth since 2am due to impending surgery.

Praying for skill and care for the surgical team and peace for Sam as he comes around from his surgery.... and looking forward to having Francis home.

Praying all goes well for Sam - and all of you in your new and different environments!
May the new house be home in every way and the new job with WV equally feel like coming home.
Lotsa love!
