Hi, thanks for your continued good thoughts and prayers. Today was not so great, Andrew was very uncomfortable, the nurse just gave him tylenol because she didn't want him sleepy so that he could get up and walk. He did walk but he was in quite a bit of pain. I'm thinking it may be more gas pain than surgery, he seems to feel it is both. He cried a few times today, we both did, because I can't stand to see a child cry let alone my own without joining

in the tear fest. He cried because he misses Jazzie and Zander, he cried because even though he likes being pampered he doesn't want to be in the hospital anymore, he cried because of the pain, he said: "I'd rather be in school than have this pain."

I held him, encouraged him, reminded him that many wonderful YTERS are praying for him, that God listens & He will get better.
The doc is talking about putting in a PICC which is some type of IV in the chest area, to put nutrients in and antibiotics, he would have to be sedated. I'm not sure the why, since Andrew is keeping liquids down & he is already getting an IV. Tom & I will be getting to the bottom of this, it sounds a bit frightening. That's it for now, many long days, I would like to be home by Sunday, I pray that is what God has in store for us. You guys are the best, you truly are.
