Wednesday update

Hi guys. Steve & I are up here hanging out with Dizzy. We went home today for a couple of hours & I was getting anxious to get back after about 1 hour. I think Steve & I agree - home is where Andrew's heart is. I don't know how Steve did it for 4 days. We did get to see Tuskers today who is doing great (thanks again Vince & Sue for taking good care of him). I also got a chance to receive the gifts that my aunts & uncles & grandparents sent from NC. A lot of people in NC love Andrew : ) I hope you all know how much we appreciate the many gifts you've sent our way. We have not paid for one night at the Ronald McDonald House to date. And we were able to extend blessings to all the other babies on the unit tonight with blankets given to us from a woman in my dad's parrish.
The Ronald McDonald House really is wondreful. Actually K92 FM (a local country station) is doing a radioathon today & tomorrow to raise money for RMHs in Orlando (there are 2 in orlando) & I was on today sometime in the 10 o'clock hour. It's wierd, that's why I didn't tell anyone (but Molly - you should feel special & always remember to tell me things first or exclusively : ) until after it aired, but I was happy to help support the house. Children's Miracle Network is also currently conducting fundraising (107.7 FM radioathon among others), also a worthwhile cause A lot of the equipment & services around the hospital are supported by CMN.
Back to Andrew. He's doing great. Getting bigger & stronger. They took him all the way off his last IV med today & so far he's holding his own. His surgery is still scheduled for friday & we're hoping it sticks this time. I don't want him to have to go through it, but we're definitely ready to move forward. Please keep Andrew & his doctors in your prayers for friday. Thanks!
