As soon as he can hold down any food or liquids, Andrew will be released to go home. He is hanging in there, trying a few fruit loops and a couple of sips of Gatorade every once in a while, to test out the pipes. So far it has all been finding its way back up the pipes, but with any luck the nausea will subside soon and he'll be headed home.
Thank you all for your tremendous response (again) to our upcoming blood drive at St. James. As a result of your overwhelming support, our appointments for the day are full! That blood will be directed to City of Hope for Andrew's regular transfusions during the course of his treatment.
For those of you who had not yet signed up, or who tried and didn't get an appointment (and especially for our Westside friends,) we are hoping to direct you to Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Andrew's surgery will be there in the second week of May, and we are hoping to have some good O+ blood ready for him when he needs it. You can call to make an appointment at 323-361-2441. Make sure to give them Andrew's name and birthday (February 26, 2005) when you make the donation.
