September 4, 4:30 pm

Good afternoon, Neil is still having quite a bit of pain. He did not sleep well last night. With all the work the doctor did in/on his abdomen, I guess this would be expected. They have adjusted his pain medication and that might be helping a bit. Physical therapy came in this morning and helped Neil sit up on the side of the bed. He said it was fine once he was sitting up, but getting up and getting down was not so good. The great news is his vital signs are wonderful including his blood pressure. We are all still so pleased.


Shanna and her mother, Linda, came to the hospital today for Shanna to have a barium swallow. Shanna did great with this and will be able to have soft food. They are looking to move her to Spain for more therapy. Both Shanna and Linda looked wonderful. They came by to see Neil and it was like a family reunion. Please keep Shanna high on your prayer list.


We saw Sue's son-in-law and he said Sue was doing great. We are so thankful for her recovery.


Everyone here at the hospital has been so nice to all of us from the workers in Chappy's to all of the 6th floor employees. They have done everything to make Neil's stay as comfortable as possible.


Please continue to love and support the Andress family. They have a baby boy, Graham Goodson. What a blessing!!!!

Thanks so very much for your prayers, love and support.
