Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. Sammy was admitted to the hospital last night after discovering he has a mass on his brain during a CT scan. We unsure of what this all means. We will be learning more this morning after we talk to the specialist.

Update 10/20 - 0930 : Sammy has another scan at 1200, which he will be put under for. We will be meeting with specialists at some point this afternoon.

Update 10/20 - 1600 : The scan went well. He was a trooper. We talked to oncologist. She is preparing us for this to be cancer. Won't know until biopsied, but very likely the case. Sam will most likely be having surgery tomorrow. We hopefully will know the specifics of that later today. He will have at least a week of recovery in hospital, followed by several at home.
