Hey Folks, I forgot to post these yesterday. You will see Janie and Neil before the haircut and after Janie has worked her magic with the shears. Janie, Thanks so very much!!!!! This made Neil feel much, much better.
Good evening to all, Neil has had a very good day. He is ready to go to Health South tomorrow. We starting packing up various things deciding what goes home and what goes with Neil. It is hard to believe that Tuesday marks 10 weeks since this started. The way we frame this is that this was a horrible accident no one could have ever predicted. In a blink of an eye many lives were changed forever. There have been many miracles and blessings along the way and we strongly believe we all will reap blessings from this the rest of our lives. Neil still has much work ahead of him and at a minimum one more surgery to close his abdomen and do away with the ostemy. The doctor anticipates this surgery will be several months away and will require a 5-7 day hospital stay. Prior to the surgery a skin graft will be placed over his abdomen. This should happen in about another month. Neil is up for the challenges he faces and continues to have many cheerleaders with all of you included. We all anticipate being back at work at our various offices later this week. All of us are humbled by your love and support. We can never thank each of you enough for your prayers which provided the miracles for Neil. Also, your prayers have blessed many people that have crossed our paths since being here. We cannot wait until tomorrow. Please continue to pray for Neil's lungs and his leg.
Susan visited us today and said Sue is making sound progress. Susan and Tommie Lee will be at Health South tomorrow when Neil gets there. This family has certainly been a blessing to us.
Shanna had a good day and was able to sit on the side of the bed with assistance today. You go, Shanna!!!!! My goodness, the Talleys have also blessed us in so many ways. Please continue to pray for the full recovery of Sue, Shanna, Ms. Cox and our other friends here.
Please continue to surround the Andress family with your love.

This has truely been 10 weeks of miracles and blessings alike. We have all been blessed by the great faith and committment that all of you have had. Especially for the continued hard work Neil has done to come this far. I know you will continue to work hard, Neil and with God's strength you will be completely well soon. We love you all and keep you in our prayers daily.

The hair cut is great! I know that made Neil feel better. He is still the handsome, young fellow he has always been. We wish you lots of luck with the move. I'm sure Neil is ready to get all the work over with and return to his normal life. We all look forward to those days for him. Keep up the good work Neil!

Wow, what a handsome man that is in the pictures. Too bad we're both married huh Neil?!?! Just had to pick at you a little. I can't believe that you're "busting" out of Baptist South. I know that there must have been a huge party line in your honor and I hate that we weren't able to be a part of it. I know that you guys are happy to be leaving there, but sad to be leaving the nurses and doctors that have taken such good care of you the last 10 weeks. Can't wait to see you in your new place. I'll have to make banana pudding as a "housewarming" present for you. Love you guys!!!!
