I am so sorry for the delay in updates, but no news has definitely been good news!  Andrew has been doing wonderful!  He is eating really well, not gaining weight, but not losing, so his body is still stealing a lot of calories to heal.  He is still bald, but we are beginning to see some little hairs starting to grow on that cute head.  His balance is still very wobbly, but we are working on getting him to exercise more and get his strength back up so that he can go back to school hopefully by April.  He was able to go on a field trip to the Boise Philharmonic with his class from Monroe in January and he was so welcomed and had such a good time, he is so excited to be a part of the class soon.  We have not had to go to the doctor’s office since the first week of January, and will be going in on the 25th for a psychological evaluation.  We are beginning to see a great improvement in his reading and comprehension abilities, and he is loving reading the Percy Jackson series.  I will try to get a webcast from him this weekend so he can share some of his own sweet thoughts and humor for everyone following his story.  Thanks!

    YAY! I’ve been hoping that no news is good news. Andrew, I’ve been thinking about you, glad to hear that you’re on the mend. Hope to see you soon (which is silly, since I know where you live . . . . )

    Take care!
