SURGERY 3 - PLEASE PRAY!!!

Please pray for Andrew. He was taken back into the operating room again this morning because what originally appeared to be normal swelling in his neck and face continuously increased throughout yesterday and last night. They believe it is a vessel or something that's leaking in the neck.

They had him on blood thinners to make sure the blood continued to flow in the free-flap (his new pseudo tongue/floor of mouth) and not clot, but the risk is something like this happening.

Thankfully, the free-flap itself seems to be fine.

Please pray:

1. They'd be able to solve this problem

2. NO MORE COMPLICATIONS AT ALL.
- That the free-flap would continue to be okay and that he wouldn't get any infections or problems from being in surgery and taken apart this many times.

3. complete healing
