Busy Night
Andrew has been going through the wringer tonight. They ended up having to put a sub-clavicle line in, they had tried for 4 hours to get another IV in, but to no avail. He has been poked and prodded all over his poor little body. They are going to settle him down and try and let him rest for the rest of tonight (morning). There are some pretty severe risk with this line he had put in, just because it is going directly into the artery that his GLEN is in, but that is the only place they could get a line in, and it was nearing a matter of life and death for getting some line in. So, here we are, poor Bess is way too tired to be up here, I got to at least sleep in a little this morning. Thank you all for the emails, texts, phone-calls, visit, and comments throughout today, it has been a rough one, we're hoping we are past the worst of it. So, just pray for NO clotting in his new line, for his left lung to re-flate (i don't know what it's really called, but 'un-collapse'), the infection to go away in his right lung, his heart to beat stronger, and his breathing improvement. We will update as we progress... good night.

Steve and Betsy:
Thanks so much for keeping us updated. Andrew has wonderful parents.
The peace of Christ be with you,
Theresa & Emily
praying for all your needs.
Holding you and Betsy close in my heart. Praying that God helps Andrew's little body find the strength to keep up the fight. He is in the best of hands as I feel that God guides their every move. Love you...
There just aren't any words that make sense any more. I love both of you and your precious little boy so much, and I know God does too. I am praying so hard that he improves steadily now and that this is the end of his set backs. Please kiss him and each other for me.
