Today has been a hard day in that Andrew does not feel well. He is shaky and weak. He is working hard in the photo above to lift his head and hands to get Mickey Mouse to say the time on Steve's apple watch. He got rid of basically all his tubes with the exception of his PICC line and oxygen. They are stepping down on his sedation, which is also making him jittery. He needed a lot of help, but was able to bear some weight in his legs when he moved from the bed to the recliner this afternoon. These are all great leaps forward. Hard stuff, but he is rocking it. We are praying Andrew can avoid more pleural effusions so he wouldn't need the smaller chest tubes placed. We are also praying he can avoid any infections, or basically any other set backs. We know that ICU is a day by day journey and we are so blessed to have a group of doctors and nurses to help Andrew get better whatever may arise. Please also pray for Andrew's encouragement. He wants to be better and go home now. We know how blessed we are to have such an amazing support in our family and friends. We are thankful for your prayers and care.
