    This is todays message from Chris...............


    Hi Guys All Andys tests for preoperation are done. Met with The main Doctor
    today Thats goin to do the Main surgery. He looked at all the tests that
    were done since Monday And read all Andys Medical records from Toronto
    Sickkids on the last surgery. He told us how the first surgery was to
    happen. The plan is in place and Andy is cleared to get it done. The doctor
    said the second time into this area has the risk factor of trouble higher
    than we thought.This will be undenially a m***ive undertaking by Dr Sekhar
    and his team. The Tumor Has grown down a little farther into the lower
    cranial nerves in his brain and The Doctor has to move these nerves to one
    side which will cause paralyses to these nerves which will effect his
    swallowing. We know Andy will have a tracheostomy and a feeding tube in his
    stomach for the surgery and for some time later.Heres where we need
    everybodys prayers! If Things dont go right it could have to be permanent
    Trach and feeding tube and we ,especially Andy dont want this to happen.
    There is alot of risks laid on the table today some I dont want to discuss
    but our choices are none so we move forward and pray for the best. The other
    2 surgerys he needs will be discussed on Friday. So Please pray for Andy as
    all prayers are gratefully accepted and he needs more than ever now. I will
    keep you posted. Chris

    And then just as the Doc ordered..............................And i can not thank Doc enough for his generosity.

    I cant believe the condition of this body............make me think we got one hell of a great deal , we never see old steel in this kind of condition.

    Leon

    Andy's dad (Chris) sent me that email earlier today. Sounds like things are progressing but not without anxious moments. The prayers should continue until this is over and he is driving this hot (rat) rod.:)

    GV, I wish I had the words that you seem to find so easily. My family will be sending prayers for the surgeons who will be performing the surgeries. May God guide their hands as they help Andy along the way to a full recovery.

    Prayers sent from the Gulf Coast of Texas, Corpus Christi, you tell that surgeon that we won't accept a feeding tube...we just won't do it. He needs to find away to protect those nerves while the surgery is performed. Some way to cushion and protect them from being touched. Maybe the use of something organic or even a part of Andy's body to retract or move them, a lot of surgeons use metal retractors. But, if the surgeon knows that, why can't something be changed(ya gotta wonder)? Necessity is the mother of invention here...literally.

    And then there's Doc....what can you say about Doc...what a great guy. One of these days I'd like to buy you a tall cold gl*** of tea and BS about hot rods. Your actions speak volumes.

    If we all pull for Andy, things will work out.
