Visitation...

Good Morning!

Andy (and the family) really enjoyed seeing all of the wonderful people that popped in to see him this week! We were so amazed to see so many people gather around him! Before visitation was suspended yesterday, Andy probably had over 25 people come see him! His nurse noted that throughout the entire day, she only recalled a 15 minute period when someone wasnt there to see him! What a testimony to the amount of people that know and love Andy!

Thanks again to everyone for your understanding, support and cooperation in regard to the current suspension of visitation. Visitation will perhaps resume in another week. I know its hard for friends and loved ones who really want to see him, but we must respect and appreciate the doctor's order for suspended visitation, understanding that it makes it very hard for Andy to rest and recover while entertaining others- not to mention that now that Andy is in rehabilitation, he is going to be exhausted from the exercises and training. We sincerly appreciate the support in this matter.

I have already received several emails asking for an address to send cards and flowers to. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness! We are asking that you send these and other items to the Ballard residence in Bulverde, Tx. Upon receiving gifts, flowers, cards, etc. at the house, Stephanie and Carol will be taking them to Andy's room to ensure that nothing will be lost at the hospital (we will post a picture of the room and the gifts next week!).

For now these thoughtful gift's- and many, many comments on this blog, are the absolute best way you can tell Andy how much you love him, as well as show him and his family your continued support!

As always, if you have any questions (or need the Ballard's address), please email me at info@thepcmgroup.com

Thank you again!!!

  1. Hey Steph,

    I talked to Merriam today and she told me about your dad and the accident. I got on facebook and found the blog. I'm so glad he's doing much better now. I hope he continually stays that way. You and your family will be in my prayers. Miss you girl!

    Love,
    Sarah Gage

    Latest tale from Casa Crane that reminded me of you guys: Tim opening the refrigerator and going, "Babe, what's this weird tea stuff in here???"

  4. Rehab exercises...now the hard work really starts...but we know you guys are up for it and can work together body and spirit, leaning on the loving arms of the Lord, cheering Andy on as he gets stronger every day...

    O worship the King all-glorious above,
    O gratefully sing his pow'r and his love;
    our shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
    pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

    Praying for each of you the strength of the Lord and His peace.
    Love you !
    Julie

  6. Andy and Carol,

    When my brother (Scott Feldman) sent the link to the blog, I was so concerned and worried for you both. Thanks be to your son-in-law for doing this blog, so that we can get updates from afar and send prayers of healing and strength your way without calling and taking you away from the task at hand--a full and complete recovery!

    Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers here in Houston as your former Wesley (now Chapelwood UMC) friends are thinking of you and lifting you up.
