Update post #41 - Prayers please for my brother - Page 4 - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

I talked to my nephew a bit ago - this morning they decided that surgery would not be needed. My brother still doesn't want to interact much but when he does, he is much more coherent and "with it" than yesterday. He will be in ICU for a while yet but is doing better.

His dr still says he should recover fully, although it will likely be a month or so before he is back to normal.

Thank you all for your prayers - my entire family appreciates that!

Maggie, so happy your brother is a bit better. I believe that it will take time for a full recovery. Hugs to you and continued prayers for your brother.

Maggie - that's great news. So glad that he'll be okay.

He'll still be in my thoughts.

That's wonderful to hear that he will recover. It will take time but so glad surgery will be avoided. Prayers continue!
