  • Update from Norm’s daughter Sarah Edwards.
    My dad was moved out of the ICU and into a regular room. He is also walking up and down the hall. While a short walk might seem minor - please remember that his insides have been completely redesigned and he had entire parts removed.
    He’s pretty down right now and tells me that minutes feel like hours.
    We’re still waiting to find out whether or not he will need to do chemo.
    The woman in this video is Dr. Alexandra Gangi. She is the miracle worker who performed the 14-hour surgery on my father. She specializes in his rare form of cancer. I’m eternally grateful to her and all of the wonderful doctors and nurses here.
    In this video she tells a funny story about wearing a Norman’s Rare Guitars sweater last week.
    Thank you for all the love and support! When my dad seems especially down, I read him the comments and it keeps him motivated to fight this battle ❤️

I was diagnosed with lymphoma when I was 19 years old, so I can empathize with what he's going through. It's great to see a smile on his face and him moving about. My prayers go out to Norm, his family and his shop family. Norm's videos always bring a smile to my face. He's sorely missed.

      @@SarahHarrisContentMarketing Hi Sarah. Thanks so much for the reply. It meant a lot. I've had a rough few weeks. I have spinal stenosis (a degenerative condition that compresses your spinal cord). I've barely been able to move the last week because the pain is excruciating. I spend my days reading and watching UA-cam videos (anything guitar related). I watch Norm's videos everyday. They always cheer me up. Even though I'll never be able to afford a name brand guitar, I like to watch the guitar reviews and live vicariously through Lemmo and the crew. I sincerely pray Norm is comfortable and that he has a quick recovery. Modern medicine really can work miracles. May God watch over you and your family. Please give Norm my best. Chris.
