Joye's Update 4/29/08
Another good day today . . . also another tiring day for Andrew. He was put on C-Pap first thing this morning and kept it up all morning. I did his range of motion exercises with him, and then they put the trach collar on and he breathed 100% on his own for 15 minutes. He did much better with it today and they will continue to increase time by 5 to 10 minutes each day. He was then returned to C-Pap and he breathed on that all day until about 4:30pm. He was also put in the Cadillac chair again today and he was able to sit up in it for 40 minutes before his blood pressure started to rise. I heard back from Craig Hospital and they are sending someone to evaluate Andrew on Thursday . . . I'm anxious to find out if he is a candidate for their program or not. Andrew's case worker for Select came into the room while the physical therapists were in their to announce that the representative from Craig was coming and one of the therapists asked how she'd managed that . . . her response was "don't ask me, it was the wife . . . she made this happen somehow." I had no idea that this is supposed to be harder than it was; I just made phone calls until someone responded. I believe that God pointed me in this direction to research and that He has made this happen, and if it's the best place for Andrew, then that's where he'll be. I'm still doing my best to give up control and let God handle this . . . I just so badly want to fix everything for Andrew, when I know that only the Lord can do so. Let's all pray that he continues improving with his rehab, and that if Craig is the best place for him, then that's where he'll be. Thank you all for your encouraging words, they mean so much to Andrew during this time. Good Night and God Bless. Joye

Hi Joye, good to hear of Langley progress for today. Yes, God is moving and prayers are being answered. We'll definitely continue to lift Langley in prayer, and if it's the Lord's will for him to be sent to Graig Hospital, he will open a door. Joye, God is going to bless you both in a mighty way. His hands are upon you. We will continue to be persistent in our prayers. We love you guys. Good night and God bless. Nick & Marie
ALRIGHT ANDREW!!!!! ON THE GOOD ROAD TO RECOVERY!!!! We were so happy to read how good you did today!!! I'm sure it's very exhausting, but we know you will work as hard as you can. You can be one determined individual. Anthony and I continue to pray everyday. Joye, I have always said that you are one strong woman. If anything needs to get done, you will make sure it's done. I am really excited for the hospital to come and do their evaluation. We will continue to pray that he gets the best help. Take care. Both of you.
Until next time.
Lots of Love,
Dawn and Anthony
Sgt,
Good work. Congrats on positive improvement. Never does our merciful God turn from the soul that in sincerity seeks Him for help. He is our refuge in sickness as in health. We're praying for a good outcome when you are evaluated Thursday. We love you.
Joye & Drew,
I am so happy to hear of your day to day progress, your doing great and are getting stronger every day. I will continue to pray for Joye to get you in the right rehab and for God to continue to guide her in the right direction I know that God's power is great and mighty and if you give it all to him he will bless you both. We all miss you very much and pray for your return home.
Always,
Robbin
Excellent progress Drew! Keep up the day by day improvement.
Joye, you are an absolutely amazing woman and Drew couldn't ask for a better wife. Take care of yourself and keep up the excellent work. It is difficult to just put things into the hands of someone else, even if it is God. We just have the instinct to want to help it along and there is nothing wrong with that. Thanks for taking the time to keep us all posted. It means a lot.
Big Dog, Keep up the good work!!
Sgt J
