And sure enough, when

Um, he got to the hospital, his assessment was correct.

So I just thank God in so many ways that this, um, this person just recognized what was happening, immediately got there and then explained to us that actually before he got on the plane in America, uh, he was experiencing some numbing, but he didn't tell us that because military guys, they're tough.

They never want to complain and they just get on with it.

But of course, if you are about to have a stroke or you have a blood clot, the worst possible thing you could do is to get into the air because of pressure.

And so this obviously caused further issues.

And so gratefully, he got in and they informed us that he immediately was going to have to have brain surgery.

There was a massive clot in his brain.

To go through the first and foremost, the trauma of realizing that we don't know this person, his wife and kids, like we don't know his family.

We now have to figure out how to get an emergency visa for his wife.

We don't know how to be able to communicate to her, tell her what's happening.

We are not next of kin.

But they also wanted us to know, like, we have to do the surgery, but he may not make it through the night.

Like, this was a literal life or death situation.

And we were, you know, completely in the hands of this Russian hospital.

And obviously...

Historically, I'm thinking Russians tend to be very good doctors, and gratefully, we were not seeing Vladimir Putin in Moscow, but we were seeing a Catholic family who were hosting us, taking us around.
