Wednesday

Andrew had a good day today. His fevers have been consistent at low grade without any big spikes for close to 48 hours now. whoo-hoo! He went for his CT scans this evening & of course I thought it was the cutest thing. He was just so little on the big stretcher. He was a very big boy though & did it without any sedation, he just held my hands, which was cuter than cute. Thank goodness for new technology because the whole thing was no longer than 15 minutes for head, chest & abdomen CTs. We'll see.
We went outside 2 times today & enjoyed the nice weather. It is such a blessing to be able to just hold him & hand out with him outside of his room & without a bunch of monitors & tubes. It's the little things. Andrew also wanted to say hi to his new cousin Kylie (is that how we are spelling it?) who was born last evening. Hurray!
Thank you all so much for your ongoing prayers for Andrew! He is an amazing little guy! If you would, please add our Grandma Dottie to your prayers. Her health is looking poor again & hospice has brought in a sitter to stay with her 24 hours at the nursing home. Steve stayed over at our home in PSJ so he could stay with her this afternoon & evening. She is very precious to us & has had quite the battle over the past 2 years with lung cancer & all the other issues that follow extensive chemo & radiation. Thank you.
