Since we are going to be Chicago the first weekend in August and you will be back in Appleton, we will have to reschedule. Like so many people have said you bring tears to my eyes when reading your posts from all the laughter and inspiration you have provided me. Everyone has good and bad days, it is just part of life. But keep your spirits up...you have so many people praying for you!!!Rebecca Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678655074175609864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020445546224051384.post-29546054923431267692009-07-16T09:08:19.127-07:002009-07-16T09:08:19.127-07:00Hey Andrew-

I cleaned out mom's office (as much as possible) and made a little chair/table area for her in here... so she actually lets me sit at the computer for more than 30 seconds! It's fabulous! She's coloring a lot now.... which is pretty scary. The other day I did a big load of laundry- Grey's clothes and mine- and opened the dryer to find.... drumroll... a RED CRAYON melted all over my clothes and the dryer! Don't worry mom, I cleaned it all up! But the hallway, the dryer, the washer, and my clothes all smell like WD-40. It sucked. So yeah, the pleasures of motherhood. Grey and I are excited to see you on Monday- I love you a lot.<br /><br />LauraAndrew's Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868352187112062835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020445546224051384.post-40222421110571763312009-07-16T08:57:26.475-07:002009-07-16T08:57:26.475-07:00Hey Andrew,

You have come along way in a short period of time, and it's only going to get better. I Have to agree with your Aunt Mary. I could see a book in your future also. I have to tell you Andrew, the story about your fart machine was hillarious!<br />That was one of the best! But, I have to say I loved the story about how your Dad took you shopping to all the jewelry stores looking for the right promise ring to give to Kalli. That brought a tear to my eye.(you guys can be so romantic) I loved it! <br />Keep up the hard work with "all" your therapy. It will pay off. No one knows that more then us. You are always in our thoughts and we will always pray for a full recovery.<br />Love, Aunt LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020445546224051384.post-2129839625461233642009-07-16T08:08:56.670-07:002009-07-16T08:08:56.670-07:00Andrew,

I have been following your blog since...Dear Andrew,<br />I have been following your blog since reading about your accident in the Appleton Post Crescent. This morning I saw a segment on Good Morning America that made me think about you. It was about a very active young man who moved out to California to pursue his love of adventure. Three years ago, while diving into the ocean, he hit a sandbar and broke his neck. Since the accident, he has been doing all that he can to recover. He has been participating in a study about locomotion therapy devised by a prominent doctor. If you are interested, you can access a link to information on this on Good Morning America’s website. Because of the success he has found with this therapy, he has created a gym with help from the Christopher Reeve Foundation called Next Steps that brings this locomotion therapy and equipment to gyms so that more people with spinal injuries can receive the therapy and be able to participate. He recently was able to walk with the use of a walker after being told he would never be able to walk. He hopes that more of these gyms can be available across the country. <br />Best wishes to you…a mom from KimberlyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020445546224051384.post-9032275398138071462009-07-15T22:29:17.862-07:002009-07-15T22:29:17.862-07:00Andrew,

You truly have a gift! <br /> And speaking of gifts (Happy Birthday, Kalli, by the way!) I cannot tell you enough, Kalli, what a gift you are to Andrew and his family, and what a gift you have of loving compassion and self-sacrifice. <br /><br />While Andrew has worked awfully hard to make the progress he has so far, and every day makes that incredible effort to remain upbeat and in control, I think we are all grateful for you, Kalli, who has been sticking by his side, encouraging and motivating him to make each day better than the one before. Thank you for that!<br />Love and hugs to all! ~~ Kathy, I miss you :(<br /><br />RoseRose Aguirrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020445546224051384.post-29628618875817454512009-07-15T22:27:10.138-07:002009-07-15T22:27:10.138-07:00Hip Hip Hooray!

I have been diligently reading your posts and have really enjoyed them...especially the pranks with the toot machine and the way they got back at you! I still cannot believe that you went for several days tooting away and not sharing with anyone. I can only imagine the damage you did to your "rock star" image! Sounds like Barb and Steve dropped off that machine on the perfect day, as you had been a little down the day before. And now she has "burp" chips? I'm really starting to question Ashley's choice!<br />An $8,000 wheelchair? Who would've thunk? I hope that included leather interior, cruise control and a moonroof! <br />As always, love and a lots of prayers...<br />TariAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020445546224051384.post-66321701213314992882009-07-15T22:15:04.268-07:002009-07-15T22:15:04.268-07:00Hey Hip,

However, I wonder if any nurses can take your complaints serious after all the flatulence pranks you've pulled with the Fart Machine. I'm looking forward to giving you the "burp" chips that goes with the Fart Machine. Oh, and you might want to ask Alex to get the huge fluorescent orange 'Parking Prohibited in this area!' sticker off her window before she picks you up:) Hugs, Barb WilhelmsBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610892018113382460noreply@blogger.com
