A Productive Weather Delay:
Andrew’s fever was controlled pretty easily and they took all the measures to remove any possible source of infection. He is handling all of the changes in meds and the slow process of removing and turning down the machines. He is taking some good steps now in the right directions. Overall, he is holding steady. He still has to maintain some significant advances and prove himself before we can get excited. So, the operative phrase again is not “too excited” about any of this yet but definitely joyous and overjoyed because WE HAVE SEEN OUR BABY’S EYES AGAIN! Yes, I buried the lead. They have taken him off the paralytic drugs and are tweaking his sedation ever so slightly so he briefly tried to wake up and he was able to communicate with us through nodding. He attempted to squeeze Robin’s hand and opened his eyes twice. One time pretty significantly. He probably won’t remember any of this but I promise you that we will.
Game Report:
Bob Uecker back here with you sports fans! We are still in a weather delay. Not sure why because the sun is out. They say it’s a Mississippi thing. Two days to recover from a massive snow storm. Regardless, it may turn out to be the best thing for the Team Andrew Cardinals. Andrew has been receiving some extensive work from the trainers and team medical staff. Big Andrew has played in every game for four seasons in spite of some extensive injuries and battling Leukemia. His Agents credit the medical staff and Andrew’s trust and loyalty to them is only matched by their dedication to him. I think we have a dugout report from down below. Let’s see who is working on Big Andrew.
Yes, Bob, this is Joe Buck. Team Andrew has called in one of their staff to see if she can’t get Andrew through this game. After that big steal for second base he appears to be suffering from some respiratory difficulty. Andrew’s battle with Leukemia is well known but most fans are not aware that Andrew has suffered his entire life from complications from a severe case of RSV when he was an infant. The team reports that it can be very discouraging for him when he has an attack. When he has an attack they call in Tiffany. She has been with him from his first day of leukemia. She was the one who helped explain all the medical treatments they were giving him and all about leukemia. The reports are that she thinks like an 8 year old. The stories about Tiffany are legendary. They say she is nut and nobody understands how she survives life let alone tend to professional baseball players. But next to his nurse MS. Elaine the Agents turn to Tiffany for Andrew’s encouragement. It looks like she has given him a water gun and he is shooting his manager? Not sure how thats helpful Bob. Wait. I’m getting an explanation. Tiffany said that the water guns are for therapeutic target practice. There is extensive research that reveals the benefits. They say Andrew regains his focus through this therapy. Hopefully for Team Andrew this will get him back on the field. I need to go Bob. I am hearing reports of some kind of snake in the dugout! Not sure how a snake would get in here.
