Andrew is still in the hospital, his counts are slowly coming up with the help of some medications and beginning to heal the infections in his GI tract, which is causing inflammation and pain in his abdomen. He has a medicated pain patch and additional morphine when he needs it. He has continued to have little emotional breakdowns, but is content and pleasant most of the time. Yesterday his stomach did put out more fluid than we he had on earlier days. This is kind of set back, but we are hoping his stomach will empty enough to no longer need the stomach vacuum before he leaves the hospital. Over the weekend the Children’s Hospital closed visitation down to anyone other than parents and grandparents because of the Swine Flu, darn piggies, they don’t think this will lift until after winter, and makes me sad but we know it is to help. Here’s hoping for just one more day at the hospital then HOME!!!!

Hi, Andrew.
Sorry to hear of your discomfort… I hate thinking about such a nice fella being uncomfortable!
Don’t EVER think you don’t have friends! I came by yesterday with another Andrew. I had heard earlier in the day that you were back in the hospital… but I guess I was just hoping you might’ve been home by afternoon.
I’m sorry to hear the dreaded swine flu has shut down your part of the hospital; I was going to ask your momma if we could come visit you down there. But instead, we’ll hope you get to come home soon.
Take care, my man!

Andrew,
I keep hoping that you’ll show up at scouts again, but obviously that’s a little hard when you’re in the hospital and feeling so lousy. Hope you get out soon.
Thinking of you,
Sister Wardle

Hey Bob Amato!
Best thing about hugs and smooches from Rhode Island is that you can’t get swine flu from them!
I love you little man!
All my heart, hope and prayers are with you…ALWAYS!!!
