Joye's Update 5/22/08

Well, although it was an exciting day in weather here in Colorado, it really was pretty quiet for Andrew. For those who don't know, there was a tornado about 50 miles from Craig Hospital today. Andrews nurse had to leave a little early today as it went right through where her home is. Andrew ate a pretty good lunch today (his largest meal to date since being here). He had a big turkey leg, potato cheese soup, cantaloupe, strawberries, and Gatorade to drink. He did well, but didn't have much of an appetite for dinner, which is to be expected for a while. Andrew will be having an upper GI done tomorrow so they can take a look and see if his sore throat is being caused from acid coming up from his stomach. It could very well be as Andrew has battled acid reflux for quite a few years now. If it is this, they feel confident they can get it under control and it will most likely take care of itself as he's eating now. Believe it or not acid can be a bigger problem when you have noting in your stomach than when you do. Other than that, Andrew is still enjoying my reading his book to him and he's still praying and has 100% faith that the Lord will heal him. Thank you again for your continued prayers and encouragement. Good Night and God Bless you all. Joye

Hi Joye and Andrew,
PROGRESS, PROGRESS, PROGRESS. That is AWESOME!!! Andrew, it must feel great to get to eat! I'll have to make the pineapple cheesecake when you get back. :-) Joye, I have't gotten the books yet, but am going shopping for them tomorrow. Well, take care you two!
Until next time.
Lots of Love,

Joye & Drew,

Dang, I don't know how anybody could be hungry after eating all that in one sitting. ;}~ (LOL) No but really its such good news to hear that you are able to eat. Hopefully they find that its only acid reflux as they will be able to get that corrected quickly. Both of you take care. I think about you both daily and what you must be facing, I am so glad that you are both strong and determined individuals together their is nothing that you won't be able to accomplish. God bless and as always keep your eyes on God.

Always,
Robbin
