Andy is back in surgery

[popcornbird]

Oh gosh. Poor Andy. I'm praying hard that he recovers soon. Please keep the updates coming.

[Vio&Juni]

Oh dear, I'll keep thinking of you both.

[LoudLou]

Positive thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery.

*Spidey-Boy*
is still "Doin OK" ~

Kimmy reports that >>>

He's in his own private ICU room -
hooked up to enough hospital equipment that he could probably
launch a shuttle if he knew which buttons to push...

Still on the ventilator to make breathing easier; and heavily sedated
so he doesn't *fuss* with the tube in his mouth and throat.

The Nurses don't want folks "bothering" Andy, so
Kimmy, Mom & Dad all went home for a breather.
They'll head back in a while to squeeze in another visit with Andy
before the Ward Police do the 8 PM *raid* and throw everyone
out for the night.

If all goes well, they *might* take him off the ventilator for
the night - but no promises have been made.

Please keep the Kind Thoughts and Prayers flowing for Andy and Kimmy!

Thanks for keeping us updated Phred. Glad to hear Andy is still doing okay.

Amy, that was sweet of you to start a new thread.

It's been a rough day, that's for sure. We also found out that he did have a blood clot along with the blood loss and that was removed. It's heart breaking to see him in this state. He looks so fragile.

I don't think I'll be able to fully relax until he's out of ICU.

They originally said they'd take him off the respirator an hour after the surgery....then they wanted to wait a little longer....and a little longer.

So while it's in, he's heavily sedated. The nurses are watching him like a hawk.

Thank you so much all of you, for your continued support. You are all blessings. I'd give you all a huge hug if I could see you.

Love and HUGS,
me, Andy, and the family

OH, Andy and Kimmy! I am glad to hear Andy is recovering. What an awful day! Please keep getting better and stronger, Andy.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh my! What an ordeal this whole thing has been! I sure hope he recovers for good this time and can come home and really start healing.

Terry says if you need to get some meat on his bones, just send him here for a week - Terry will fatten him up. McDonald's double cheeseburgers everyday for lunch with large fries! Oooh, now I'm starting to feel sick.

I'm so glad everything went well today. Will be thinking of you both and praying he gets better once and for all!

{{{hugs}}} to both of you.

Thanks for the uppydates Phred. It's nice to have someone on the "inside" to keep us informed.

Kimmy, we know how precious Andy is to you, and we are praying like all get out that he will be better, and soon. Thinking many positive thoughts, here.

[Kater]

Many prayers on the way for Andy! Hopefully this will be his last surgery for a loooong time!

The "insider" can't reach Kimmy -
Her cell phone may have a dead battery...

I checked with the ICU Nurses and they kicked all the Family out
for the night at about 8 PM.

Andy is "OK" and resting / sleeping like they want him to do.

They didn't remove the ventilator yet - so he'll have to put up
with that discomfort all night.

Nurse was polite, and in her "I can't tell you ANYthing" way
hinted that Andy was really doing OK.
She said they would possibly remove the ventilator in the morning.

Don't know if we'll hear form Kim again tonight or not...
she's probably so tired she can hardly think.

More Prayers for Andy and Kimmy would be appreciated!!

Rest well, Andy ~ Hope you're feeling better by morning!!

{{{HUGS}}} to You and Kimmy!!

I meant to do this when I got home from work today but have just now lit my candle in the window for Andy (and Kimmy and family too of course). So many thoughts and prayers flying from all over to you Andy.. sleep well and wake with a smile.
