Andrew has made wonderful progress these last few days. The respiratory therapist has taken him off the respirator during the day both today and yesterday. He handled it very well. He is back on it at night to ensure a good rest. In the afternoons he is placed in a chair for a few hours with a strap to be sure he stays up. He continues to lift his arms, make faces and stay awake for longer periods of time. Please pray that Andrew will not be frustrated or too worn out by his therapy and the current hindrances to communication (his respirator and tracheaotomy).
I (Sarah) am home from the hospital and currently pain free. Doctors are hoping the pain can be managed long enough for baby to grow more before surgery is necessary. They've given me medicine for flare ups and put me on a low-fat diet to help prevent them in the first place. Please pray I will be able to carry this baby to full term without pain from my gallbladder.
Thanks again for all your prayers and support.
~Sarah

I am so glad to hear of Andrew's progress!!! I have the priviledge of being one of his co-workers at the library and we miss him soooo much around here!

Good to hear that things for Andrew, you & the baby are moving along nicely, slowly, but nicely nonetheless. Life at times zips by and at other times it seems to drag on, like when you're in recovery or waiting for an amazing baby to make his fabulous appearance! God's timing is always perfect & hardly ever what we "plan"! May you find rest in the waiting & great joy in the journey! love- aimee (jarrod's cousin)
I am writing to remind you all that we are lifting the whole family up in prayer every single day at school. We are so happy to hear of Andrew's progress. Sarah, we love you and pray that this is the last flare up you will have until that healthy baby is born.
Love,
Miss Kay and staff at Grace!
