Saturday from family
Update on Andrew: He is being so strong and determined. As of right now, he has not had any swelling develop so They are going to monitoring the swelling for the next 48 hrs. If after 48 hrs, there isn't any swelling, and he successfully receives the nutrition, and all his vitals and temperature are good; they will gradually reduce the small amount of sedative they are administering. Right now, Andrew's is in a coma due to the brain injuries he's sustained during the crash. The sedative is there to simply help him relax because he is showing signs of being uncomfortable, stress and agitation. We will not know the severity of brain injury for a few days, maybe weeks or worst case scenario, months. My Dad has always told me, "Patience is virtue" and that is all I keep hearing in my head. Not gonna lie, my heart smiles with every squeeze to my hand when I say "I miss you" and the hope that his eyes will open or say, "Did u lock your car?" BUT today, tomorrow and most importantly our first goal is for him to get thru the next 48 crucial hours without any swelling, fever or infection. Then we will move to the next step, that is transitioning from him being in a relaxed state to slowly letting Andrews brain try and start to function on his own. He is my favorite, he is my ❤️, he is my person, he is the worlds greatest Dad to one brave special girl, he is the funny friend that constantly posts about moobs, butt cracks, and toilets. He is the most giving, selflessness and caring person I know...I am lucky to be able to love him. I can honestly say, our prayer group is strong and the support from everyone near and far is what has gotten. ALL of us through. Please keep it going...a simple 1 min prayer is so powerful. We love each and everyone of you for everything.
