Thanksgiving Eve at the Hospital

We all have a lot to be thankful for.  Andy is still a little disoriented but is doing very well.  All the nurses are taking good care of him and he even has someone stationed to sit with him to make sure he doesn't try to get out of bed on his own because he's still a little unsure of what's really going on.  He still doesn't remember what happened to him.  We're thankful that he walked around once today and he's taking nourishment.  He was complaining, saying: "It seems all I do is EAT around here.  They feed you like a hundred times in this place."  Please pray that God would grant him his memory back and that he would be able to come out of the ICU soon.

Andy has a roommate in his ICU room too.  I don't know about patient confidentiality so I won't say his name, but he got here the same night Andy arrived.  He was involved in a car accident too, but his injuries are very different.  He's having a great deal of trouble breathing and he's coughing up fluid in his lungs.  We have gotten to know his family a little bit while we've been here for the past 5 days, and they are great people.  It also turns out that he knows one of my cousins.  They're both from the same town and went to school together. What a small world!  We're praying for him and his whole family too.  He's in a really tough spot and in need of lots of surgery very soon.  Please pray with us that he and Andy would be completely healed and guarded against all infections.


We'll let you know when Andy can take visitors and maybe you could swing by.  Thanks again for your support in this trial.
