Joye's Update 8/18/08

Andrew had a better day today. His blood pressure was still a bit low, but he's managing it much better now. He was able to go to all of his therapies and classes and we spent a lot of time together on the bridge that goes across the street between the east and west sides of the hospital. The sun was out and it was nice to spend time up there. We prayed together tonight for God's healing and I left somewhat early to begin packing my things for my move to his room which will take place either tomorrow or Wednesday. We are very excited about the move. Please continue to pray for Andrew and most specifically, for him to gain use of his arms . . . and, we thank you for that. Good Night and God Bless. Joye

Joye's Update 8/17/08

It was another tough day today for Andrew. His blood pressure is still giving him trouble and Andrew was unable to make it to church this morning. His blood pressure is quite low and is making him very tired; therefore, he slept a good portion of the day. We are praying the blood pressure issues are corrected as to not prolong us from getting to move to the east side in our room together. We are also praying very hard and deeply for Andrew to get movement in his arms. Please pray with us for this . . . we have faith God will provide this for Andrew. We thank God daily for this blessing we know is already on its way. Good Night and God Bless you all. Joye

It was a good day today with exception to the rain and cold weather. Andrew's blood pressure was a little better today, but he still decided to stay in bed for the day because he was very cold. It's okay as long as it's just once in a while. We are planning to go to church in the morning and I'm hoping it won't be so cold tomorrow. I know when we get home, we'll wish we had this cold weather, but for now it's just too cold. I'm a "hot weather" kind of person, that's for sure. Thank you all for your prayers . . . we know God will provide for us; it was His promise. Good Night and God Bless. Joye

Andrew had a little better day today. His blood pressure is still giving him some trouble, but all in all, his day was better. Coco flew out today and we already miss her. Andrew and I prayed together tonight for God to continue to heal him and to give him use of his arms. We know the Lord will do this for him, and we are so thankful for that. Good Night and God Bless.

Joye's Update 8/14/08

It was a better day today than yesterday; however, Andrew is still having issues with his blood pressure. His doctors are still trying to find out what's going on, so hopefully they will soon be able to fix what's going on. Coco completed her training today and will be flying home to Yuma tomorrow. She learned a lot in one week and her education will be very valuable to us once we're home. We are so thankful to Craig for flying her up here and to her for enduring the training. Andrew is supposed to be moving to the east side of Craig Hospital next week and I will be moving in with him. We are both very excited about that; it's been a long time since we've "lived" together. We continue to pray for his healing and we are thankful that we know God will heal him. Please pray with us for that healing. Good Night and God Bless. Joye

Andrew had some struggles today. His blood pressure is dropping at times (mostly while sitting upright) which is causing a lot of dizziness and discomfort. They are trying to figure out what's going on, and until then Andrew will have to remain in bed. They have some ideas, so hopefully this won't last too long. Please pray with me for a better tomorrow. Good Night and God Bless. Joye

It was a good day today. Andrew did all of his therapies and classes and had a pretty good day. Coco is continuing with her training and I think will have about 2 years worth of information given to her in this one week by the time she goes back home. It's a lot to learn, but she's taking it in stride. Please continue to pray for Andrew and most specifically, please pray for him to get use of his arms. We thank you for that. Good Nigh and God Bless. Joye
