Today's most exciting bit of news was Andrew's movement on command. When asked to move his arm, he was able to do so after a few moments. For the past three days, his sporadic movements have increased slightly. He moves his left arm (the stronger of the two), his legs, his neck to turn toward sound and his feet (for the first time today) in response to tickling. Smiles and other facial expressions have become more frequent. It is like seeing a bit of his personality once again. He has a long way to go, but each little thing is an encouragement. Movement from ICU has been delayed by paperwork only, so he will be moved to the rehab floor of the hospital very soon. Please pray that this move will be seamless and comfortable for Andrew as he is unable to communicate with us. Pray also that the Lord would strengthen him as physical therapists and family begin more direct and intense stimulation for his recovery.

I love you guys and continue to pray for Andrew. I'm heartened by his progress but concerned about all of you. You must be exhausted, physically and emotionally. I am praying for all of you.

Dear Hilleke Family,
I am so happy that there is progress in Andrew's condition. I will continue to pray for him and all of you daily. I am sending this site to my children who attended Grace with Andrew, also.
