Andy is back in surgery

[Cincy'sMom]

I hope Kimmy doesn't mind me starting this as a new thread, but since the other threadis pretty long and last night's update was pretty good, I wanted to make sure people saw it...( this was posted at about 8:50 am EST)

We had just woken up so his mom told me to take a breath and a shower.

Andy, you and his family is in our prayers.

[Aspen and Misty]

Prayers on the way!

I hope everything is going good.

At 10:55 AM the hospital will only say "He's IN Surgery."

Kimmy's cell phone was going dead, so I haven't spoken to her.

Please send some PT Prayers to help the surgeons.

Just talked to Kimmy ~

Andy is "OK" and
OUT of Surgery

He's a really Sick Puppy, though

The quick story is that he's on "blood thinners" to prevent blood clots
from forming in his lungs...
and the thinned blood is *leaking* -
he was bleeding internally.

Early this morning his blood pressure suddenly dropped and they
thought something tore or pulled loose -
so rushed hin into surgery and had to give him a
blood transfusion.

Didn't do major open chest surgery - just went back into the
little slit they used yesterday...
but found "nothing wrong" - no tears or pull-aparts.

He's on a respirator to ease the burden on his lungs;
and they will try to adjust his meds to correct the blood consistency.

He should be moving back up to the 8th Floor ICU rooms soon.

PLEASE - Keep the PT Prayers flowing for Andy and Kimmy!!
