Update 12-18-25

We hoped the blood flow would pick up to his intestine but unfortunately it hasn't. It's not enough to process food that he eats. It did allow jello and popsicles but the vomiting started back. They had to put the NG tube back in and he's on water and ice chips only again.The vascular doctor called us yesterday and all options have been tried but we are still hopeful for the blood flow to pick up!! We are bringing him here to the hospital. His girlfriend of 13 years, Monique who hasn't left his side, is coming too. He's very glad to be coming home and we are too!!❤❤❤ We will see how things go and we won't give up!! That's all I can say for now. Please pray for all of us Love yall so much and we're very thankful for everything you've done

My name is Jennifer Guest. My brother Sam Guest has been in ICU since November 23. He has a large clot blocking the small intestine and a dissected artery. After talking with the vascular surgeon this morning, we decided not to go with surgery. His case is very rare and survival rate with surgery is 1%. There are a few positives. He does have a little blood flow going to the intestine and we are going to wait and pray that it picks up flow. My Mom, Linda Manning has been with him since November 26. I arrived yesterday Dec 2. With Mom and I living in MS and having to travel to Alabama, the financial strain is growing due to not able to work and then travel expenses, food, gas and bills. Sam being out work as well is an issue. If he does recover we will still have to move him into a different place to live due to current status is an upstairs place. As we don't know what's ahead of us, it's so much to think about. Any help is very much appreciated!!! Please continue to lift Sam up in your prayers!!!! We love him so much and just want him well!!
