EXTUBATION, again
Well, it's been a pretty big day for Andrew. He got the breathing tube out early this afternoon, hurray. He is finally sleeping now. This kid likes to see how long he can stay awake, especially on exciting days like today. He hasn't been too fussy though. They had to put his cathetar back in last night, but he is still peeing pretty good. We'll try to tackle getting rid of that again in good time. We are hoping that if he keeps doing well he will be able to start getting a little food through his G-tube (feeding tube that goes directly into his stomach) as early as tomorrow. His blood pressure has been a little high, but they are keeping a close eye (as always) on him & addressing it as needed. That's about it. He's still adorable (we'll have to get some pictures up tonight when Steve get's back) & he also looks so big to me. I know he didn't grow that much from last night but I guess just getting the vent out of the way so we can get a good look at him makes a difference. I sure am proud of him going through all this & I thank God for the gift he is to us. Thank you all for continuing to follow Andrew & support us, especially thank you for the prayers.

It was so good to see you two yesterday, and on home turf. I am planning on coming over tuesday afternoon, but will call first. I can't wait to see Andrew again. I love you three so much.

It was great deeing you guys "at home" Sunday! Thanks again for the best Christmas and now b-day present a sista could ask for. Today the song in my head is, "Thank you Lord for giving us Andrew! Thank you Lord for giving us Andrew! Thank you Lord for giving us Andrew, right where he is.....Alleluia praise the Lord, Alleluia praise the Lord, Alleluia praise the Lord, right where he is!" You know there are always good things going on in my head! :)Tell him his Aunt Christy said, "He's a good baby and his Christy loves him! Not much longer and we'll read about the monster at the end of the book" - I CALLED IT!
I love you all,
Christy
Looking good, Andrew!
We're all proud of Dizzy for being a tough guy through this, and we're also proud of you, and Steve for standing firm with your faith in Christ.
Those who know your name will trust in you, for you Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. (Psalms 10)
May the healing hands of Jesus continue to touch Andrew, Danielle, Lindsay, the children of Arnold Palmer, and the children of Chans hospital, and others who seek healing. Let it be in Jesus's precious name, Amen
Betsy and Steve:
So glad to hear that the breathing tube was removed. He's a strong little guy with lots of love to help him on his journey.
Peace be with you,
Theresa and Emily
