Freshman Andrew at Cal |
Grandparents at Grad |
Andrew is making progress...yeah! Our slogan should be, "Go Andrew. Go!" Andrew had a restful night. His status is clearly improving. He continues to be sedated in the ICU. Because he had swelling in the brain, the idea is to ensure excellent blood flow and oxygenation of the brain so that healing can progress. To that end, he remains with a breathing tube and of course that is not very comfortable. He knows that Mum and Dad are by his side. He opens his beautiful hazel eyes and looks at us even though it is through the haze of the sedation. He is pretty sore everywhere as he had a big fall. He has cracked some of his solid frame but there is nothing to cast and everything is stable.
So today is a big day for Andrew...breathing, resting and getting closer to removal of the breathing tube. Go Andrew. Go!
Great news! Thank you so much for this blog. Go Andrew Go!

Well done, Andrew! Knew you could do it! Now sprint to the finish. Go, Andrew, Go!! Steve and Marcie, make sure you are taking care of yourselves. All the machines running in the ICU can be very drying so stay hydrated -- my current favourite herbal tea 'lemon ginger' -- give it a try!
ReplyDeleteWe'll be down at Elk Lake this weekend for a regatta. Does Spencer need anything from home? Also, you left in a hurry, do you need us to send anything to you from home? Please don't hesitate to ask. We are here for you.
Sending our love and prayers, Chris, Andrea, Dan, Ben, Gavin & Sarah

Using Kate's account to send this but it is from the Maggie and Mike Flynn.....
ReplyDeleteI’m so excited to hear your good news. It doesn’t surprise me at all that Andrew is getting stronger each day and giving you the ‘thumbs up’. That’s the Andrew I remember. Please give him a huge bear hug for me, I do miss all of those hugs that I was on the receiving end off.
Thinking of you all.
Take care.
