Andrew’s Story

Site created on July 26, 2021

Welcome to the CaringBridge website for our friend, Andrew Fairchild.  Last Spring, Andrew contracted Covid and struggled to recover from it. After collapsing at the doctor's office, Andrew was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. He also has a L4 lower back compression fracture from when he fell at the doctor's office. He has little strength and has difficulty getting up out of bed much less cooking meals, cleaning, etc. Andrew's friend, Willis, has been amazing in helping with cleaning. Many others are eager to help. We hope this website will help us organize those that want to help.

Journal entry by Jamie Thompson

Due to the need to monitor Andrew's labs during chemotherapy, and his access to the Cancer Center being barred by COVID restrictions, Andrew's oncologist, VJ KUMAR, has deferred the onset of chemotherapy until August 10th.

Chemotherapy will be with dexamethasone, revlimid and bortezomib.

In the meantime, please pray for Andrew's M3 Protein to go down, for his calcium and sodium to come within acceptable levels, for his hemoglobin to rise four points, for the healing and strengthening of his four lower bodies and preparation for the chemotherapy, in accordance with God's Holy Will.
