He reports to Crittenton Hospital at 10 a.m. and his surgery will be at Noon.

Thanks to everyone for the prayers and well wishes.

Karen - you have a PM.

Hot Newz *FLASH* from Andy's Mom >>

"Andy reports to Crittenton at 10am,
with surgery scheduled for 12 noon.
It sounds as if they worked him into the schedule
on the lunch hour."

Gives the image of the White Coats working with one hand -
and munchin on Hot Dawgz with the other hand!

Kimmy advises the actual surgery is just going to be a "slit"
in his side; with the time estimated to be about 20 minutes!

Let's all Pray it's a real Quick Fix!!

How to Send Andy
"Get Well Quick *Wishes*" >>

Here's where Andy will be for the next 2-3 days >>
http://www.crittenton.com/

I checked with the Hospital, and sadly they do NOT have any
way to receive and distribute E-mails to patients.

Kimmy will be staying with Andy's Mom & Dad - and CAN receive e-mails
there... So if you'd like to send Andy an E-Card or an E-mail ~

Use THIS Address =
ramanth @ gmail.com
You'll need to *remove* the *spaces* before and after the @ sign -
they're in there to prevent "mining" of the address from this page.

Kimmy will print them and personally *deliver* them to Andy.

If you'd like to send a Snail-Mail Card -
PM to "ramanth" or "Cinder & Smoke" for the Folks' Address.

And AFTER 6 PM Friday, you can try to ring Andy's Cell Phone -
which the Hospital *does* now allow to be used in patient's rooms.

Andy's Cell # is (248) 821-5127

Anothe option is to call the Hospital Gift Shop -
(248) 652-5000 & ask for "Gift Shop"

They will take a credit card over the phone;
have the usual Gift Shoppe Stuff;
and WILL *deliver* to "Andy Miller's" room.
Gift Shop HOURS are:
9:30 - 7:30 on M-F; but only
1 PM - 4 PM on Saturday and Sunday

Please say a lil Prayer for Andy tonight;
and be sure to think of him tomorrow at Noon!

{{{HUGS}}} to Andy and Kimmy!!

I really hope everything goes smoothly.
Please tell Andy that we're all thinking of him, hundreds of miles away, and that when he's recovered, he needs to eat all of the chocolate cake, doughnuts, etc.. that he wants.

[Dogz]

Thanks for the update, Phred.

Kimmy, lots of hugs to your and Andy.

I hope that everything goes well. My thoughts will be with you.

[Cincy'sMom]

We'll be thinking of Andy at noon tomorrow and praying everything goes well.

Kim, I just wanted to let you know that even though I haven't posted, Val told me about Andy and I have been keeping him in my prayers.
I'm so sorry that he has to have surgery and I hope that it all goes well.
If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask.

Take care.

Sending prayers up for Andy...medical technology is wonderful today and Andy is going to do great! Give him big hugs from his PT family

[4 Dog Mother]

Oh, I am so sorry that Andy will need surgery to get better. No surgery is easy I guess if it is the only way to make him better it has to be done. I will keep Andy, you and his family in prayers as you go through this today - and with the recovery time - that sometimes is worse than the surgery. The time always goes so slowly!

[ramanth]

Thanks everyone.

I just got off the phone with Andy and they are getting ready to head to the hospital.

I am SO nervous! I keep telling myself that it'll be okay over and over.

Thanks again for all the support. *hugs*

[cloverfdx]

More good vibes on the way.

[EssTer]

I hope everything will be OK..
I will be praying for you both...

[Logan]

He's going to be just fine, Kimmy. We have him in our prayers, all day. Update us when you can. We're "with" you both in spirit!!!!

[Randi]

We'll be sending purrs, good vibes and healing thoughts to Andy.

Hope it goes well!

Quick Prayer for Andy ~
They're almost ready to start -
which also means they're almost done!

On a side note...
I got this from Kimmy >>>

"My boss took one look at me this morning and
told me to take the rest of the day off.
So I'm outta here.

I'm not sure when I'll get to the computer next (maybe late tonight),
so I'll have you post updates as I know em."

Not sure how soon Kimmy will get to the Hospital;
but I'll try to stay in touch with her and post
Andy Uppy-Dates as we learn more.

GOOD LUCK ~ ANDY!! ;
