A Quick update on Andrew

Andrew came home this evening....he is doing well, very tired....and even moving a little bit quickly reminds him that he has a severe concussion.

I want to thank everyone for the messages via blog, email phone, and thank you for the prayers.

Andrew is NOT allowed to even go to school for 2 weeks. he CANNOT get another bump on his head at this time.... Actually they would like him to be a vegetable for the first 7 day! even a small shake of the head could cause more damage.. another bump on the head could actually cause brain damage so they say. He is seeing specialist from Pittsburgh that deal with sports medicine..... they treat the Steelers, and the Penguins and Pitt. And this doctor also sees other NFL stars that have had concussions He was actually on the Today show not too long ago...... Andrew is in good hands. Oh Kim you'll like this, today at the hospital ,the Pittsburgh Steelers Rookies came to see the kids.......Andrew got pictures with some of them and many autographs.... His favorite college player that was drafted from Michigan State was there...don't even ask me his name....
I am so tired, so tired........ i will try and return some calls tomorrow. I will be glued to Andrew for the next 48 hours. He is scheduled for many test over the next month or so in Pittsburgh....so I gotta learn to city drive mighty quick........
God is Good all the time........ and i am continually reminded of my many blessings... The hospital was filled with Children that will never heal on earth, it was filled with children that have been critically ill for years. What Andrew has is fixable and "healable"!!

I love you all.

So glad Andrew is home now. Please take care. When he gets feeling better, you are gonna think that the terrible two's were a piece of cake. Keeping a almost 16 year old down is not easy. But if any one can do it you can.
