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!)

Update Father Andrew 01 from Uncle Paul

Hello all, this is an informative e-mail:
Andrew is stable and being watched in the intensive care unit, without any critical issues at present.With his permission and the 'go-ahead' of his family, this is the situation:

1-He has had an aortic dissection (www.emedicine.com), which is a separation of the inner third of the aorta's wall into the middle of the blood stream of the aorta, he did not bleed out from the aorta. His blood pressure is well controlled and has been relatively easy to control. This is extremely important for now.

2-He has not had any organ damage of complications from the dissection that we are aware of.

3-He is fully awake and is enjoying everyones support.4- Washington Hospital center is off of North Capitol and Irving (www.whcenter.org)Bed: 3G-06, visiting hour (which are strict) are 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM5- Tom and Cecy are at WHC currently.I'm available on my cell if needed 202 207 8271
