1 day post op
Sorry I'm just getting around to updating. Andrew is doing very well. We didn't have any big excitement all night or today. Right now the focus is weening him off the ventilator, hopefully he will be ready tomorrow morning. The doctors expect he will do better when he is able to get rid of it. We thought earlier that he wasn't peeing, but Kalee must have been doing her thing because he was just tricking us by peeing around the catheter & had a big wet diaper. I think he's on to the system & is trying to get rid of the catheter. He had an echocariogram early this afternoon & the doctor said things looked good. They are also checking him for infection because they suctioned some yellow stuff out of his lungs earlier, so keep that in the prayers. As always, they started him on an antibiotic right away which they will discontinue if it turns out there isn't an infection. I can't really think of anything else right now. Steve & I are extremely grateful for all your prayers and support!

Thank you so much for keeping us updated. None of us can think of anything but Andrew. We are praying constantly.
Love Mom T
Kalee will be so happy to hear this report!!! She has been praying for pee and for Andrew to "get out of that hospital!!" (with a little Kalee attitude when she says it!) Super cute.
So glad he is doing so great. We are ready to plan our trip to Florida to celebrate Andrew's homecoming. Can't wait to see that sweet boy up close and personal!
Hello Again Betsy & Steve:
We were delighted to hear about Andrew's successful surgery! What a MIGHTY God we serve! Thank you for keeping us up to date on the blog...you two are quite a phenominal couple! We love you and are praying that Andrew's recovery will be a quick and uneventful one.
Everyone in Georgia sends their love and prayers as well. My Mom & Dad's prayer group meet on Sunday evenings. Pastor Jimmy annointed Andrew's picture when they prayed for his surgery last Sunday night...Praise God for His faithfulness and His HEALING power! We love you...kiss Andrew for us!

Betsy & Steve:
Keep up the fine work!
Andrew knows how to make everyone chuckle even at the most serious times.
You are both very brave and have given this attribute to your son.
Take care,
Theresa and Emily
