Andrew's Map

The family here is creating a map for Andrew of where people are praying from. Would you please post to us where you are praying out of so we can add you to the map.
Please, keep praying for a miracle. And those toes.

In addition- we are hoping that will be out of the ICU and in his own room by tomorrow! Amazing! - Please feel free to send any notes of encouragement, cards, etc. to the hospital at:

St. Elizabeth Hospital
C/O Andrew Hippert
1506 S. Oneida Street
Appleton, WI 54915

Andrew has been talking with all of the family tonight, and has expressed that he is so happy to be alive. Keep those prayers coming - we already have prayers coming in from New Zealand, Sweden, Peru, Burundi, Spain, Kuwait, Iraq, Baghdad, and of course, the United States- Let's try to cover the WORLD!

  67. Everybody says "Stay strong." I say try sillystuff! Toes ARE important. They are also funny. My big one keeps trying to go numb. NO way, I say...."This little piggie goes to dancin school; this little piggie goes along; this little piggie likes to cha cha; his brother writes a new song. And this little piggie, rocks all the way home!" Hear the music, find that beat,
    Let Blessed energy flow to those feet! Amen
    Andrew, the twinkle in your eye when you talk to your beloved--send it on down to each toe. It is just a tiny little movement, but enough repetition, and you have something happening-barely visible at first.
    But what power in the idea, thought, intent, affection, and response. Your profound gratitude is opening the gate for so much, "Yes, yes," response through your whole body. The Lord Who created you, has spared you, IS repairing you. Yours is an amazing story. Coach those toes and be patient with them. But make them mind. They just might humor you with a twinkling response---then an outright wiggle. I don't take any of my body parts for granted anymore. Anger can only drive a person so far. Humor heals. Healing humor is always faith-based. I gather you already know that from what I've read. Keep the faith--You are going to win, one little piggie at a time--even if you are a kind of "Whole Hog" kinda action person. Praying seriously from deep in the heart of TEXAS

  72. You are amazing, have been reading your blog since last June and I have never heard of a more determined person in all my life! You have come a long, long way and I truly believe that one day soon you will walk without assistance. You will never know how much encouragement you have given to others. Keep up the great work, God is blessing you each day.
