Welcome Back!!


Andre' is on his way back to his home Today!!
It has been a long 19 days but he is finally able to come home!
What a speedy recovery!
Andre' is still somewhat serious. Lee has received some strict regulations from the Doctor for Andre.
So he has asked IF you BEEN, ARE or FELT sick please not to come around Andre'.
The last thing we would want is him getting sick and needing to go back to the hospital.
From all of our Hearts THANK YOU to everyone who has helped during these times!

Coming Home!! :)



I just got off the phone with lee.
And from the looks of it Andre will get to come home TOMORROW!!
Unless there is a minor set back but he is looking good.
He had his feeding tube taken out this morning.
He will still need to do lots of therapy. They are thinking of having an at home physical therapist.
When he is home he will still be on Valium and Methadone due to being heavily sedated.
So he will have to be wean off it.

Improving



Andre' is improving but very tired from exercising and walking.
He is getting double fed, from his tube and eating on his own.
Right now Andre' weighs what he used to before everything happened.
But they are shooting for him to weigh 50 pounds. Although him weighing 55 pounds would be better.

Things Are Looking Good

Andre is doing good.
They might move him out of PICU tomorrow.
He is getting stronger and receiving physical therapy.
They also removed an IV that was in his artery.
So that leaves him with only One IV left.:)
Things are looking good for him.
From what I hear he was craving pancakes last night
and today Mc Donalds.
I was with Marissa today when Andre asked to speak with her.
She had the phone on speaker.
It felt so good to hear his little voice. It sounded weak and quiet but it was definitely him.
She was so happy to hear him too her eyes watered some. :)
She asked him questions and he would reply with a simple yes and no.
But I did hear him say more than a yes or no once.
That was when she asked him what he was watching he said,
Hannah Montana :)
Thanks for the continue flow of prayers they have really helped. Keep them coming.

Thank You Mighty Jesus Miracle Worker

God listens to everyone who prays and speaks to him.. He is so wonderful and never goes back on his word.
So I would like to thank JESUS our one and only Mighty God.
Andre's family and friends is a believing family and friends.
If you believe you WILL receive.
After Andre's story has been told it should be really hard for anyone
NOT to see GOD IS REAL and GOOD.
Andre and His story is a MIRACLE.
I would like to share with everyone what Andre told Lee.
"Jesus was with me and he told me I was going to be better and be alright."
This has truly touched my heart and I hope everyone out there as well.. Praise God

  Starting off with a miracle...
Here is the update
The Breathing tube was taken out of Andre.
And he is trying to talk.
He is doing great!!
We are seeing all good signs that he will be okay and make a full recovery.
Why wouldn't he? God has already answered that for us. :)
He is very alert as well.
I received a very comforting video of him waving.
Now with God Guiding us let us begin our journey Recovering.

Slowly Making a Comeback

They are going to try and take Andre off the breathing machines in 2 days and see how he does.
Yesterday he was taken off his beathing machine to see how he would do. He was able to breathe for about 10 minutes on his own before he got tired and stopped. Lets hope and pray that in two days his lungs will be up and running better than before. He is also awake much more and still trying to talk. They are now giving him breathing treatments every two hours rather than all day.

Keeping Strong and Fighting

They are going to try and slowly take Andre off a lot of drugs through the IV. And give him the medication through his feeding tube. Please continue to pray for Andre's complete healing and for his brain to be completely fine when he recovers.

**UPDATE**
Right now Andre is getting more agitated due to him coming off of the drugs. He is also fighting a lot now and trying to talk. We know this must be a stress on him not really understanding whats happening and trying to talk. So please continue to pray that he will be able to stay calm when he wakes up. 

Tuesday, October 6, 2009

Heard from Lee

Andre is still slowly improving he is stable but very critical. He is still on the ventilator and his lungs sounded clear tonight. Please continue to pray that his lungs get stronger. He was sedated some more to help relax him because he gets agitated. He doesn't wake up as much because of the more sedation but he still does wake up. And he is responding to the nurses when he is awake. There is still blood in his urine it comes and goes but they are watching it. We pray for complete healing. Please pray for Lee and Candy that the Lord will give them strength and rest from the restless days and nights.

Day Six

Today is day six here in I.C.U at St. Luke Presbyterenian Hospital...ugh it's been exhausting and we have had or up's and down's with or Little Andre!! He is such an amazing guy that is loved by so many and we have FAITH in the Lord Jesus Christ that he is going to pull through this bump in the road. Everyone has been so generious here and the staff here is amazing. He is a fighter. The grandparents and parents have been staying in the waiting room day and night. Please pray that they stay strong and have peace. The rest of the family has been staying at the Ronald McDonald house. Thanks so much for The Ronald McDonald Home!!! The Lord has already showed us some miracles from this little guy already!! I can't wait for him to wake up and tell us all the stories and dreams he has had and hear his cute little voice again. Thanks so much for all your prayer's and please continue to pray...God is good and he answer's prayer's and he say's he does not go back on his Word. Jesus is bigger then this! Thanks again everybody.
-Cinda 

**UPDATE
Andre is being weaned off his paralytic some. So he can hear and move a little. Lee wants everyone to know that even though this is good Andre is still in serious conditions. It's a slow process and he doesn't want people getting too excited. Andre is in and out, and when he awakes it's only for like thirty seconds. Lee asks him yes or no questions which he replies with shaking his head. Please still pray for Andre and the family his lungs are still in the same condition and that is our number one priority right now. 

We know everyone is anxious to visit or see Andre but at this time Lee, Candy and Grandparents are the only ones being allowed to see him. They ask for visitors to wait for his full recovery. This is crucial now because Andre is scared and in severe conditions still. Lee and Candy are at his bed side at all times to calm him when he wakes. Thank you keep the prayers and support for Andre coming. 

***UPDATE 
There is blood in Andre's urine again please pray for complete healing of this.

Good Day, Bad Day, But Good Overall

This morning was good. Shortly after Andre was down graded with the ventilator he had to be upgraded again to the one that he was on. In the afternoon we had a set back, Andre's left lung collapsed. After the collapes the family that was here prayed. A lung specailist came in and cleaned it out and with Gods grace Andre's lung was just as good as it was this morning. Andre is completly off the drug that they think is causing blood in his urine. We ask to continue to have massive prayers for Andre's full recovery and be cured of this disease. Please pray for Lee, Candy, Marissa and family to continue to stay and be strong during these tough times.
God has showed us his work many times already with Andre's story. And we believe when Andre comes out of this God has something in store for him.
God Bless

Doctors Update "Cautiously Optimistic"

 Andre has been placed on a new ventilator. This is good because the one before was the last thing they could do for him to do better. He also has some blood in his urine. The doctor thinks this is due to a drug so they are slowly weaning him off of it. And his left lung has open. The doctor said to be "Cautiously Optimistic." Thank you for all the support and continue to pray.

Doing Good and Physical Therapy

Andre has met the food intake requirement that he needs. They will slowly increase his intake of pedisure as he progresses. He is getting physical therapy everyday for at least three times a day. And they have taught Lee and Candy how to do it so every time they go in to see him they can do it.

Lee and Candy would like to let everyone know, with the weekend coming up, that only them and grandparents are being allowed to see andre at this time. So if you were expecting to see him no one is being allowed now. This is just a safety precaution for andre.
Also the account for donations is underway we just spoke with the bank and papers haven't been faxed due to the banks fax being down. They have assured us the account will be up and running tomorrow I will let all know. Thanks again.

The doctor has said that Andre is still the same they don't see him getting any worse just better. They switched over his breathing machine to another one to help relax his lungs. She just confirmed he doesn't have the flu. When he was first rushed in and they placed tubes down him some of the bacteria from the mouth got pushed into his lungs they are now treating it with antibiotics. He is doing good an expecting just to continue to do better. Thank you so much again for all the help and prayers God is good and he has listened to everyone. Through God Andre is and will recover. Lee has asked to continue to pray for him and pray that Andre doesn't catch any colds. Through prayer and God we are strong. Thank You Jesus.

Good Night with Good News

Andre had a better night than last night a good 12 hours. He had a minor set back when they were trying to clean out his lungs. Basically a small asthma attack but he pulled through strong and fast. Our huge plus is he also is trying to breathe on his own so they had to sedate him a little more because they don't want him to breathe on his own just yet.
Thanks again we are all staying strong and your words are bringing great comfort to Lee Candy and Marissa. They will read comments whenever they get a chance.
