Joye's Update 4/30/08
Andrew had a little harder day today. He wasn't able to sleep well last night as he got a new roommate and they were working hard all night getting him settled. I think it should be quieter for him tonight as everyone is settled now. He is spiking fevers again too, so that has him a bit worn out as well. He breathed on C-Pap all day and the respiratory therapist told me tonight that it's the plan to try and keep that going as much as possible, even at night when he's sleeping. They won't start tonight as he's still so tired and has a fever. Fevers pretty much come with the territory with a spinal cord injury (so I hear). The spinal cord regulates body temperature and when there's an injury, body temperature fluctuates constantly. They have done numerous cultures (almost daily), and he doesn't have infection anywhere . . . it's just something that's going to be this way for a while. Other than that, we're just anxiously awaiting tomorrow's visit from Craig Hospital. In fact, everyone around here is anxious; you'd think the President was coming. Everyone keeps coming in wishing Andrew good luck. They're all very excited for him. I know that if it's meant to be for Andrew, then he will be there. Good Night and God Bless. Joye

GOOD LUCK!!!! I hope everything works out. I know I haven't commented much but I have had my hands full with a newborn and a almost 4 yr old! I actually had my baby at Good Samaritan and they were an excellent hospital. I know the rehab facility must be different though. My best Friend is a nurse there (at the hospital not rehab facility) so if you guys need anything give me a ring and maybe I can see if she can help. I am so glad things are progressing and I know they will continue to. We have you in our thoughts and Ill keep my fingers crossed for Colorado! By the way Happy belated Birthday:) God bless

Andrew and Joye, Lots of paryers tonight for the visit. Along with keeping fingers crossed, and any other thing that may help!! Obviously the hospital in Colorado saw something good in the medical records since they are making the trip to see you. That right there is an excellent sign. We will also pray for the fever to go away so you can get back to work on your recovery. Hugs and kisses to you both.
Until next time.
Lots of Love,
Dawn and Anthony
Sgt,
God bless you in your evaluation with Craig Hosp. You have a very faithful wife. She is going the extra mile to get you the best help. We pray God's blessing on Joye also.
Christ is the same compassionate physician now that He was during His earthly ministry. In Himthere is healing power for every disease. We love you two.
