This is Andrea's mom again. After a 5 hr surgery, he is back in his room in intensive care. Andrea will write about the details later but for now, they feel it went well and they removed an infected part of the lung. The next 24 hours are very critical. She is on her way to his room now and will write later tonight when she gets back to the house. Continuing praying for improvement now over the next 24 hours.
