My family,
Thank you all for all the concern, prayers and support. Andrew is looking the best he has since he came home from being born. We have to continue giving him his antibiotic for another month or so. For all
you medical people, he is getting Albuterol solution .083% 3 ml. dose mixed with Cromlyn Sodium 2 ml. through a nebulizer four times a day. We also found out that he has a urine bladder valve reflux that we
have to treat with Trimeth/Sulfa for the next year. He is alert, active, hungry, and just plain healthy. Back to his old self of waking out every two or so hours during the night and wants to stay awake from 2 to 4 in the morning. And I thought I was tired last week. Matthew wants to hold him all the time and Sierra is just plain jealous of all the attention Andrew gets but is improving every day. I still can't hold Andrew without holding Sierra too. I think it is quite funny for she really gets more attention for she is into everything. Cathy too is very tired and wishes all of you her greatest thanks. Words can't express the many many thanks for all the words of hope and prayer. It really works. I want to express a special
thanks to Sharon for her help to all of us. She has really been there for us this week. I hope that if anyone ever has to go through anything like this, they have someone to help and support them as much
as Sharon has us. Miracles do happen. Now it is time to work on Rebecca.
From the Hurley house to the Mohican world,
Many many thanks,
Eric, Cathy, Matthew, Sierra and Andrew
