How is Jack doing?

Margie and I are in Oakland and have spent the day seeing Jack through surgery to correct a congenital blood vessel malformation in his chest that constricted his esophagus and trachea. The Pediatric heart surgeons here treat this as a routine, not-very-exciting case, with straight forward technique,correction of the plumbing to a normal state and an expected complete recovery. The care and facilities are wonderful and we are grateful for this gift. We will pay a farewell visit tomorrow, stop in Stockton to visit uncle John and aunt Ellen-Mom's brother and his wife- and then head back to Medford. Thanks to all of you who kept us in your thoughts and prayers during this challenging time. Eric

Hi Eric, Margorie and all,
Blogs make me nervous but I'll overcome this little curiosity to wish our best for little Jack, his family and you guys, of course. We still hope to stop by before Christmas, or at least some time over the weeks just after Christmas, but we'll call first to see about a good time. We hope you're finding joy during these challenging days. Love you all. Cam and fam. (McCandless)

Great news! Sounds like Jack is recovering normally and we'll look forward to your return to Medford safe and sound for the Holidays. Love, Bruce and Chrys.
