i just left asher. they have finally moved him into an intermediary care room. it is a mixed blessing. earlier in the day, when he was still in icu they had him sitting up again. we tried all morning to get him to respond to one command. we kept asking him to stick his tongue out. he was not able to do it, but he did seem to try and do it with a great deal of diligence. we really felt like he understood us, but his doctors had already told us, due to his brain injuries, that he might not be able to get his body to do what he was telling his brain to do. the brain can find new routes to send messages through, though. we are really hopeful that will begin to occur soon.
it honestly has been a pretty rough father's day for me. i am very thankful for time i was able to spend with my daughter hadrienne today. she took me out to lunch and i cannot even begin to tell you how special that was. i know i am biased, but hadrienne is one of the most amazing people i have ever known. God has truly blessed gloria and i with 2 of the most amazing children parents could ever be blessed with.
continuing to cry out to God,

Andy, I am so glad to hear that you and Hadrienne took some time to spend together for father's day. We had all three of our children at home, and enjoyed some stories about the tension breakers at the hospital from Mark. And yes, you do have some amazing children - Mark is one of their biggest fans. He loves you, all. It is wonderful to hear the good news with Asher! Many prayers...
