Andrew had a great night and progress for the day. Sorry for the delay on the report today. The daily routine takes us up to around 12 or 1pm before we have seen all of Andrew's doctors. So, unless there is some kind of drastic crisis we won't be doing daily reports till the afternoon.
Last night went well for Andrew and his X-rays showed no change. He didn't have any overnight set backs and they are slowly dialing back on the work that the machines are doing for him. It's going to be a slow process so we basically are praying for a few days of no changes. No changes would mean that he is handling the process of coming off the machines. The most important report at this point is to say that he is still alive and that the doctors are pleased with the progress.
HOWEVER, as I type this report I am receiving word that he might be having a set back. Too early to tell. But Andrew has started to fun a fever. It was at 100.2 but has climbed to 100.4. They have begun a battery of test looking for the source. So let us pray that this is a simple issue and not a genuine set back.
For those interested
Game Recap:
Bob Uecker here Sports fans. We have a heck of a winter league game underway here between the Team Andrew Cardinals and Pneumonia Yankees. We are in a weather delay due to a temporary wintery blast that has shut down the State. We are hoping the field crew can get their equipment across the parking lot in order to clear the field. But until then, we have Andrew on second after an amazing steal. So, he is in scoring position and it is still the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs. A tied ballgame.
We need to talk about that amazing play by Gumby in the top of the 9th out in center field. The ground he had to cover in order snag that ball before going over the fence for a home run. If it hadn't of been for the effort of Gumby this ball game would probably be over for that would have been a 3 run shot. Team Andrew might not have recovered from that deficit.
For long time Cardinals fans they can't help but think back to Willie McGee and his amazing post season play in Centerfield. His 1982 WS home run stealing catch in Game 3 is what legends are made of. All heart, guts, and effort.
Hey Bob, Jack Cristil here, if you haven't seen him play yet you have got to check out the center fielder Jake Mangum at Mississippi State. Like McGee, the game changes when he is on the field. His heart and guts make it always possible to Wrap it in "Maroon and White" no matter how far behind the Bull Dawgs are in the 9th inning. He's the kind of player that opposing Managers hate but would break the bank account to sign for their own club. And, that is exactly the kind of player Andrew is on the field. Don't be surprised to see him score for the win!!
Hopefully, we can resume play shortly. I trust you found Bob Uecker's Game Delay report. Until then, Keep praying and cheering.
In Christ,
Perry
