Friday

Not much new today. Right now the plan is to keep Andrew as he is over the weekend, then on Monday he will go back to the cath lab where they will try to stint his lower pulmonary vein as well as place a new central line. Please keep praying for Andrew's health overall, but if you need to get specific he needs to pee more to loose the extra fluid he's carrying; his lungs need to clear up some more; his lower left pulmonary vein to open up as much as possible (& the upper one to reopen, if we're asking for things, why not?); pray against bleeds & infections... I'm sure I am missing things. Basically we are praying for a miracle. Thank you all for standing with us through this & everything over the past 4 months.

My prayer life has been enriched because of this journey. I find my thoughts traveling to Andrew many, many times a day and I will continue to lift you up in prayer each time. Betsy & Steve-your faith has been an inspiration. May God grant us all a miracle this weekend. I love you. Lisa & Pat

Steve, Betsy and Andrew,

The three of you cross our minds so many times during the day. When we come together at the end of our day, everyone always wants to know, "How's the baby?"

Thanks for the specfics--it gives an idea of how to pray. But even if you don't or can't get into specifics, don't worry. When we don't know how to pray, we ask the Holy Spirit to make a good prayer for us and give it to God. He knows Andrew and we believe that God has a plan for Andrew to thrive and have a wonderful future.

We'll send up our prayers and we send you our love,

Mike, Jennifer, Mickey & Marisa

As you know I am a novice to prayer etiquette and I hope God forgives my weakness as we know there is always strength in numbers, right?! You and Betsy would do the same for any/all of us, as you have, even amidst Andrew's needs you have prayed for other families, thank you..
Surrounding you all with love and hugs!

Good thing Andrew is the miracle baby! He knows a thing or two about how they work. So, we will just keep praying and waiting for this next miracle. Love you all!
