Thursday (Week 2)

Andrew is coming right along with recovery, slowly, but surely. He is still stable, without any major complications. This morning he did a few bed exercises with Physical Therapy and then took a handful of steps to the recliner. His belly is letting us gradually work up to the nutrition he needs through his g-tube. All good things. 

When he woke up this morning and saw me, he reached out and beeped my nose. He didn't smile, but I was so excited he took the effort to tease me. He is currently in the recliner working on his Mario skills. We are trying to take a small step down on his sedation IV medicine; we are praying this is not very disruptive for him and he can continue chugging along toward wellness. We are so proud of this boy! He really is a stud!

I also got to see sweet Baby Mae yesterday evening as she got here with her parents in preparation for her surgery to repair the cleft to her soft palate. Not only is she is all done with surgery now, but she rocked it. Please pray with us that her recovery will go as well as the surgery did. And yes, she flashed that cute grin left and right like she was here to bring us all a little sunshine.
