UPDATE on Fr. Drew
Mom and Dad just called with news:
The Doctors have decided to continue to medically manage Drew. They will wean him off of the intravenous medication that has been controlling his blood pressure and switch it to oral medication. Provided that this goes well, they hope to transfer him out of Surgical Intensive Care Unit.
This is good news!
Thanks for all your prayers and keep them coming.
Don't forget to email Fr. Drew messages at: getwellfatherandrew@gmail.com

Update on Father Andrew
Hello All (informative),
Andrew Royals has done well for the first 48 hours.
There have been no complications thus far and the medical staff are pleased to see that he remains in good spirits.
His current treatment consists of medications to asssist him in the control of very specific blood pressure parameters. These are modified by inherent dynamics as well as environmental conditions. His blood pressure elevates with emotion, stress and thelike.
I suggest NO VISITS to Andrew for the next 24 hours, to assure thathe continues his current recovery.

Keeping in touch with Fr. Andrew
Many of you have been asking about when you can visit Father Andrew or how best to send him your love, regards, prayers, thoughts, etc. For the moment, the hospital staff is not allowing any visitors because of the great importance of keeping his blood pressure down. Therefore, if any of you would like to send a note or any news to Fr. Andrew, please feel free to email him at this address: getwellfatherandrew@gmail.com. Tom & Ceci will be checking this regularly and will be sure to read your notes to him whenever they can.
Again, many thanks for all of your assistance and prayers!
God bless.

Update Father Andrew 02
Hello again,RP.
Andrew remains in good spirits and, medically, without current problems. There have been no complications from this event so far and the team is very positive.
Today was amazing.....I have seen the actions/emotions/contributions/interventions of many amazing people, amongst them ........my nephew, my dear nephew........my sisters, my brothers, monsignors, archbishops, directors of hospitals and bishops. I saw nurses raise to the ocassion by treating our beloved exactly like every patient they treat. Father Andrew will remain under current management until Monday 12/10/07 when his case will be discussed within a very large multidisciplinary group. Questions: call Tia Nancy Invites: call Tio Paulito (just kidding, always available!)
