Surgery In the Morning (1/29)

Jan 29, 2026

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share an important update on Sarge. He has developed a very serious bone infection, and after further evaluation, the surgeons have determined that his leg will need to be amputated. The infection has completely destroyed his heel and has spread much farther up the bone than they initially hoped. This will require an above-the-knee amputation.

This is one more incredibly difficult hurdle that Sarge never should have had to face. We are so grateful to everyone who has donated and continues to support him through this. Despite everything, Sarge is doing his best to stay in good spirits and is even cracking jokes — his latest: “I’m going to weigh a lot less tomorrow!”

That said, this surgery is a very big deal and will mean a completely new life for Sarge to adapt to. It also sets him back significantly in his hip replacement journey, and he will be out of commission much longer than expected.

Because of these new circumstances, I have raised the fundraiser goal. Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts, for your continued support, generosity, and prayers.
