Journal entry by Jeff Edrington —
Sorry for the delay in getting an update out. Andrew is still doing good overall. Speech is a continual battle but he's moving forward. Thanks for all the visitors as this gets him to covers a lot more than just repeating words back to us. Anyone is welcome at anytime.
We had all of his follow up appts. this past week. Per the CT Scan, the bleeding has stopped and is still being reabsorbed back into the brain. The swelling is also starting to fade away. The big problem now is that there is major bruising on the brain which hopefully will subside with time. They believe this is what is causing the speech and memory difficulties at this time. We are still praying for a full recovery by the start of the school year.
We would like to thank everyone who has bought the wristbands. We are overwhelmed with all the support. Please let me know if you need anymore. Also, please pass them on to others as we try to keep the fundraiser going. We will be donating to Children's Hospital and also buying protective poitcher helmets for local baseball teams. If your team would like to be involved or be a recipient of these helmets please let me know.
Thanks for all the thoughts, prayers, texts, calls and visitors. Thanks for thinking of us as we love each and everyone of you. Andrew is missing his baseball team Fury and wishes them all the luck in Florida. Till next time,
