Happy late 4th of July!  Andrew was lucky enough to celebrate two nights of sparklers, firecrackers, and fireworks.

Andrew said that this was the best 4th he has celebrated since we moved to Boise, however he missed his sharing it with his sister Taylor, who just left for Colorado on the 3rd.  Andrew is throwing up about 3 times a day now, and has decided it is not worth eating food just to throw it up so he is getting 100% nutrition from the feeding tube.  Despite his pukiness he is still his fun goofy self whenever someone will laugh with him.  He actually threw up during our 3rd of July celebration – quite literally.  He was sitting in part of the circle around the fire roasting marshmallows and hot dogs and lost in all over the middle of the circle.  Believe it or not he quickly composed himself and was ready to play with some sparklers, but chose to sit in a chair and watch as we set off little fountains and fire crackers for his amusement. 

As always thanks for visiting, and for your thoughts and prayers!

    Aww- we missed you SO much Andrew. Fourth of July wans’t the same without you. Brayden kept saying “Come on Taylor and Andrew!” and then we’d have to tell him you were still in Boise. I’m really glad you had a good time in Boise!

    Back to a visit in Stanley. You are so welcome and we would be honored to have you, I just want you to be sure that it is okay with the doctor to come this far from medical help. We are an hour from Ketchum. We love you and our prayers are with you. Love, Wndy
