Andy's *wakin up* and starting to communicate in *words*!!
He's still a bit *FUZZIE* and drifts off into La-La Land;
but he should be able to put together a full sentence pretty soon.

They took away ALL the supplemental oxygen (he's now breathing
plain ole room air) AND are slowly cranking up the bed from horizontal
to a more upright position.

The head White Coat visited and said it was time to quit goofin around -
Orders are that the Nurses are to have Andy SITTIN inna Chair
before lites out tonight!!

They've been rolling him around in the bed to limber him up;
and fluids are now flowing in and out to everyone's satisfaction.

Solid Food is still a distant memory, but he got a "Treat" - a Popsicle -
for being good!
Kim says she'll "bait" him into the chair with the promise of another popsicle!

Miz Kimmy is finally starting to sound a lil bit more "chipper" -
I think everyone is seeing *PROGRESS* being made!

Plans are for the Family to eat in the cateteria and then return
for the scheduled Chair Sitting!
Hopefully he'll be Out of Bed before 8 PM.

Kimmy is going to call her Boss and ask for tomorrow off.
She promises to *relaxe* a bit when they move Andy out of the ICU room
and into a "regular" room. I think that may happen sometime on Monday.

Let's all *Pray* for Andy getting his legs back in operation this evening -
a trip to the Chair might not seem like much - but to Andy it will
probably feel like a 5-mile Hike!

GO ANDY! Go *GET* that Chair!
