Our good friend and classmate, Sal Cafiero, underwent open heart surgery to repair the mitral valve on March 12, 2019. The surgery was successful, and Sal is now recovering in the ICU at Banner - University Medical Center in Phoenix.
No, this photo wasn't taken today. This was a special dinner prepared for Sal by his brother Mario, before his surgery. Mario's note this morning said, "Last night, Sal took a few steps, sat up in a recliner, and was in great spirits, although he drifted off a number of times in the middle of a joke."
Folks who want to visit Sal are being asked to consider waiting until he is out of the ICU, probably tomorrow. Yay Sal!!!
