I haven't talked to my ex-sister-in-law, otherwise known as Andy's 
mom,  or my nephew's fiance today yet, but yesterday  he was up more due 
to folks wanting to visit. the nurse said that with many visits, he 
becomes more agitated, or aware of his pain, and then more pain meds need 
be given, and then he doesn't breathe on his own properly and the many 
visits will buy him a tracheotomy. so they were nice but pointed to not 
make frequent or long visits. That being said the nurse said he is doing 
very well. I don't know if I mentioned it but he knows who he is, knows he 
was in an accident because that's what he was told. He remember's his 
nurse's name. Today he should have been given the opportunity to have some 
broth and baby-like food. they were also removing some of his I V tubes. 
so he must indeed be getting stronger. My ex-sis-in-law said one of the 
officers who responded to Andy's accident called her to see how he was 
doing. She told him of the progress and he just said that it was 
unbelievable. He told her he didn't want to depress her but the emergency 
folks at the scene of the accident didn't think he would make it to the 
local hospital let alone the trip to Green Bay, WI via helicopter or at 
the longest through the night. he was just flabbergasted. Also a woman my 
father-in-law knows just happened to drive by the accident while my nephew 
was laid out on the roadside. She figured him for dead and was surprised 
to learn of his recovering condition as well. So hopefully all these folks 
can see god at work. I'll keep yawl posted as  there is news.
