Update on Andrew

About 2 weeks ago he ended up at the hospital with an IV for meds and fluids. The medicine was for nausea. THey sent us home with a prescription for more of that medicine and he's been doing great. He lost even more weight, which he didn't really have to lose. He's gained a couple of pounds since then and we had an appointment with a GI doctor this week who put him on a high calorie diet. The problem with that is that he gets full fast and then forgets to eat between meals.

He's still unable to speak above a whisper due to the paralyzed vocal cord, but as long as he takes the meds he can function fairly normally. The medicine is one they give chemotherapy patients for nausea.

Thanks for prayers.
