Updates as of Sunday, August 10th, 2008
I just spoke with my mom and sisters. Andrew is in stable condition and still in a coma. This week we hope to move him to a hospital in St. Louis. Tomorrow he will be going through another operation for his other leg.From Courtney:
Hello, all. Thank you so much for all of your thoughts, prayers, and support. I'm Drew's oldest sister. I spoke to my mom a little while ago. Drew continues to be stable. His head pressure has not changed so they are going to remove the ICP monitor this evening. She spoke to the neurosurgeon and he said it may be a couple of weeks before Drew wakes up, but is positive he will wake. The orthopedic said Drew's bones will heal with good care. Ironically, they will heal faster because of his brain injury. I'll try to keep you all updated. Again, thank you. Courtney

Good Morning,
Drew continues to be stable. He has a small fever this morning so they will be concentrating on keeping him cooled down today with Tylenol and cooling blankets.
For all you girls who loved his hair, they will finish shaving, as my husband puts it his "sexy mop," off today. He was looking a little like bozo the clown after they shaved the top front to put the monitor on. Its for the best anyway... easier to wash.
Trauma team will round tomorrow at 7 am. I'll keep you updated.
Again, thank you for your prayers.
