The head-head surgeon was in. Mike's pancreatic numbers are normal.  We are now dealing with the aftereffects of the attack, which can also be lethal.  However, the head-head surgeon smirked when I told him what the previous surgeon said. I remain hopeful.
             If you don't get emails for a stretch, not to worry. I'm almost out of juice, and I don't have my power cord.
            For those of you who don't know the story: I packed a suitcase.  The guys who drove the ambulance to the airport told me that my suitcase wouldn't be allowed on the plane because of bulk and weight. When I arrived at 3:30-4:00 am, I pulled things out of the suitcase and stuffed them into shopping bags.  It didn't get to take all of it because I was concerned they would make me leave things on the tarmac. Our power cords got left behind.
            We flew to Honolulu in an ambulance plane about the size of a large pencil. Sadly, neither the sun nor the moon was outshining on the water as we flew the 200 miles.  While I had heard that flying in a small plane can be bumpy, this was the smooth flight, and the landing was one of the best I have ever known.
            Friends on the island are putting together a care package, including my power cords, and sending it to us.
            Thanks again for your concern and prayers and being willing to tolerate my need to share the news with everyone.  It means I don't have to carry it alone.
