Marconato's Update 7/9/08

This is "Marco" (AKA James Marconato), Andrew's friend and co-worker from Yuma. Today we went to the car show that the hospital put on for the patients today. Andrew found a car he wanted to buy . . . a new yellow corvette. We had barbecue for lunch and then we went to occupational therapy where Andrew is trying to get his "driver's license" for his chair. Then I used the rest of the afternoon for some grooming time. I shaved his head with clippers and shaved his face with "Magic Shave." When I was finished I gave him a mirror so he could see how and looked, and then he said, "that's the Big Dog." After that Andrew was in La La land and ready for bed, so we left for the night. It was a good day, his spirits are really up and he's like his normal self. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Good Night . . . Marco.

Hi James, Joye, and oh yeah, Andrew. ;-)

ALRIGHT JAMES! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! Now I'll recognize him. In the 18 or so years that I have known Andrew I have NEVER seen him with hair on his face or on the top of his head!! Hopefully no too much will grow back by next week.

Sounds like you all had a great day today.

Well, just checking in. Joye, I am also looking forward to some "girl talk."

Until next time.
LOTS OF LOVE,
DAWN

Hey Marconato....thanks for the update. You are such a GREAT friend to Langley. I am glad "The Big Dog" is back. He is doing so good. I am pround of him. But not surprised at all due to his character and strength and most importantly his FAITH in God!!

Love you guys,
Cherry Derrick
