4 o'clock update

Dizzy has kept up his peeing, it slowed down a little, but it is still in the negative (which is positive). I was in there alone with him just now and I tickled his feet (he is very ticklish!) and his big toe moved just the slightest bit. I was ecstatic. Not much else has changed. I received more encouraging comments through the blog. Gina seems to think I am a musical genius (she didn't use those exact words... but that's what i heard.) and apparently my stage name is now Snoop Dad.... i can dig it. The support from all you guys, near and far (california! Hi Mike, Melaine, and Patrick!) has been so uplifting and helpful. Will talk to you all later-- ok. that is cliche`

Hi Guys,
You are in our thoughts and prayers so much of the day. We know that God has a plan for each of you, even where you are right now. You are His witnesses and Andrew will someday be able to testify of God's power, he will be a mighty man of God. Bring Jesus to the ones around you. We love you all.
Claudia and Pastor B.

Betsy and Steve,
Was sitting here again thinking of your circumstance = I love the verse from Micah 7:7
"But as for me, I will look to the Lord and confident in Him I will keep watch; I will wait with hope and expectancy for the God of my salvation for my God will hear me."

This verse helps me so much and I hope it will bring some comfort to all three of you - pray this over Andrew for me.

Keep encouraged - Donna

I've been reading the blog postings and appreciate the updates since I am still fighting this cold. I won't visit until I am all better.
Folks at Our Lady of Hope are praying for Andrew too. His name was announced for prayer at all the weekend Masses. Same for St. John the Evangelist Parish.
Heaven is getting "stormed" with prayers for your son (my grandson).

I took real delight in reading your (Steve's) comment about the instant bond you felt when Andrew was born. Yep. That's what happens with every one and it is amazing.

Blessings, Steve and Betsy, I love you and Andrew just like that.

I just wanted to let you guys know that me and Donnie have been following your progress since before little Andrew was born. Teresa told me about your blogspot so that I could start my own to keep her in the loop and my other family and friends out of state. I am really glad he has had such great progress lately. Our prayers have been with the three of you and will continue. If you ever want to check ours out it is LuvandDon.blogspot.com. I'm so glad you added the comments. I have been waiting to leave a comment for some time.

he's probably not as ticklish as you steveO. keep working with his feet though, there are lots of reflexology points to stimulate his heart and kidneys.
love and kisses to all three, dad and dawn

Hi Betsy and Steve, I am happy that "Dizzy" is doing so well, I can't wait to be able to hold him--some day. I am praying for him all the time.

I love you

I think I have decided that my song for Andrew is going to be "You are my sunshine". I can't stop thinking about him and I am really anxious to play with him.

Betsy, I am "feeling" your postpartum stuff and I want to remind you that you will never know how much Daddy and I have loved you all your life, and how much we want to continue to believe that God is taking care of the three of you more than we ever could. Steve's note about how he fell instantly in love with ANdrew reminds me of Dad's comment when he first saw Gina ( and each time another was born), "I never knew how much my parents loved me until now" I can't wait to see you all tomorrow. I love you
Mom

Hey there Steve and Betsy,

Well this is the third time I have tried to post a comment......they say third time is a charm! Let's hope so.

Uncle Stan and I have been keeping up with all the blog.....this is wonderful, especially for old people like us.......all this great technology to help us communicate across miles and miles!

You have one beautiful little boy! Uncle Stan and I have been browsing all your photos and reading the blog several times a day!

Just talked to Brian (Casey). He said he would be getting in touch with you soon.......It will be a little while, 'cause he is presently at work.

We love you both......and little Andrew, too!

I am so glad to hear Andrew is progressing so well......praise God!

Take care.....we will be in touch soon!

With love,

Aunt BeLinda and Uncle Stan
