Today is the one year anniversary of Andrew’s resection and diagnosis. Wow…one whole year. So he is still in the hospital but hopefully will get out in a day or two, it was three weeks on Wednesday. The procedure done on Monday, injections of Botox in his stomach, seems to be a success! He is only throwing up once a day and his jello and drinks are not coming up. We are so excited! He is still having abdominal pain and the doctors are sure it because his nerves are raw and we will just have to wait it out. He is also having colon spasms which are attributed to the nerve damage and we are hoping are short lived. However, if we can get his pain under control he should be able to leave in a day or two. We are still on track for chemo on the 12th, yay!! He has done a webcast to thank everyone who has sent him little notes and cards, he wanted to answer some questions he has been asked so look for it later. Thank you so much for all the support!

HI Andrew, I am so happy that you are finally able to really eat something! Woo hoo! I think about you a lot and pray for you and your family a lot. You are a brave dude, one of my heroes that helps me through my little trials. Thanks and hope you get to go home soon. Lots of love to you and Taylor and Mom you all are heroes to me. Bye for now.
