Joye's Update 7/31/08

Andrew is still going strong on day 3 being vent-free. The hospital staff have a new name for Andrew . . . they now call him The Big "Weaner" at Craig. I've even heard talk of T-shirts :) It got very comical today as people were thinking up what could be put on a T-shirt (I'll let you use your imagination). Andrew laughed a lot today, that's for sure. Tomorrow is Craig's annual "Hobi Day." Most of the patients and their families go out to this lake (called Cherry Creek I think) and, believe it or not, go sailing. They do it every summer and it's quite the event. We are going to go on the early shuttle as Andrew has to get back by 2pm to have an injection done in his jaw. Even though it's supposed to be the hottest day of the summer here tomorrow (103 degrees) he's looking forward to going. I told them what real heat was in Yuma. God has so blessed Andrew and I have faith more blessings are to come. Good Night and God Bless. Joye
