Update on Buck Mercer:
5am Saturday - surgery is complete and the aneurysm has been removed. He had a few complications during surgery including excess blood loss. They had placed a tube in the brain to relieve the pressure. So far his motor function looks good. He is resting in his room now and we will check back in the morning to see if he is able to communicate with us at all. We are thankful for each and every prayer. He has overcome a lot of obstacles but the doctor says the next few days are critical.
