Okay, so I'm not very quick to get back to upate for you guys, sorry. Andrew had a prety good day. This afternoon they started giving him some pedialite (no idea how to spell that) through his g-tube. They are taking it very easy though so it may take a few days to get his belly up and running. It is hard to be patient sometimes, but I appreciate being able to take things at his pace. I'd rather be slow & sucessful than push it & have bigger set backs. He didn't get a new central line today, he may possibly be getting a more long term line that's done by the surgeons - probably next week. In this regard please keep praying against infection since he's had the current central line in 3 weeks now (they usually don't like to keep them in longer that 7-10 days in effort to minimize risk of infection). Though I must say God has done wonders in that department as Andrew has been in the hospital for almost 9 weeks & hasn't had an infection yet. I think it's some kind of a record. He had cultures done the day before yesterday & nothing has grown last we heard.
Steve & I had a good time playing with him this evening for about a hour. Then he promptly fell asleep. He is so stinkin cute! I look foward to sharing him more when he's able to come home. He & I talked all about his family earlier today. I gave him the rundown on his grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins. He was very attentive through the whole thing. We love you guys & as always thanks for the prayers!

I hope you told him that Grandpa Richard is waiting to work on the ol truck with him when he gets home.
While they do that together thing-male bonding, Grandma Dawn will bake up some chocolate chip cookies or something yummy like that.
Great Grandma Joy and Great Grandpa Jerry are ready to take him on their next trip to Costa Rica to visit the rain forest.
Things are going so fast with him in the 'big boy" bed now. LOL (You know who)
