Joye's Update 6/9/08
Another successful day today! Andrew weaned twice (so far), once for 1 hour and 10 minutes and the other for 1 hour and 30 minutes. He will most likely have another wean later tonight as he got started late today due to the respiratory team being so busy early on. He felt as though he could have gone more than an hour and a half, but his doctor's orders only allow him to go 90 minutes at this time. His orders will be changed as he is able to do some consistent weans in this time frame. He was also able to get up for about 2 hours and he only had an appetite for breakfast today. I really believe Andrew's recent improvement on his weaning from the vent is due to every one's prayers and faith in God to heal him. Andrew's own faith has gotten stronger and he's so calm and so focused, it's truly inspiring. Thank you so much for your faithful praying . . . it's meant the world to Andrew and the difference in his recovery. Good Night and God Bless you all. Joye

Sgt & Joye,
We read your blog first thing every morning. Each day brings more confidence in the thought of Sgt's complete recovery. By the way, have you two finished the books you were reading? Like the endings? We've written an ending for your book, Sgt. You're walking out of the hospital with one arm around Joye and the other around as many kids as possible.
God Bless.

Hi - Langley:
You are doing GREAT!! You keep it up!! I am so happy to hear that you are able to wean off the ventilator longer and longer! You are getting stronger and it is showing! God is listening to all of our prayers. I am glad your kids are there with you to keep you motivated and happy..... I am also glad you liked the song my brother wrote for you. I will be mailing that out to you tomorrow. He had to record it over so I could mail it to you. God bless you all!!!

It fills my heart with joy to read about all the progress Drew is making. I want you to know not a day goes by that staff do not call or stop in and ask how both of you are doing. There is a huge group of staff here praying for your continued progress. I am sure you can feel the support of your co-workers all the in Colorado.
Keep up the progress and we will continue with the prayers.
