Andrew is still with us!



Andrew is home now and they say it is an absolute miracle that he lived. With all of the things happening to
him he never should have made it. They have determined that he had a
very severe case of alltitude sickness, plus that this also effected
his preexisting situation with his neck, and a severe asthma attack
which in itself should have killed him because of its severity, they
also said that anxiety was a deadly part of the whole situation. So,,,
we are so grateful that the Lord took care of him. For 1 1/2 hours he
struggled for every breath. He finally told Dan,, the partner who was
with him, that he could not hold on any longer and to take care of his
family. He felt himself receding and then Dan started yelling and
throwing him around. Telling him he had to live for his family. He
stood Andrew up and they walked for the next 5 hours because Andrew
knew if he sat down he would be gone. He had some wonderfuly sacred
experiences during those 24 hours on the side of the mountain that
will change him forever. I as his mother am so grateful for this gift
of an experience in his life. He will never be the same after having
gone through this and it will surely be one of those defining moments
that if we choose to, bring us all that much closer to becoming who
and all that we can become. thank you everyone for your prayers and
your support. Love to all.

  1. Hi Annie Laurie, So sorry to hear of Andrew's troubles but glad he is doing good. Just wanted you to know how much you and the girls have touched my life. I really miss all of you and hope someday that we will meet again. Please tell the girls their crayon drawings are on our refrigerator as a constant reminder of them. Please give them a hug and kiss for me. Love, Michelle Letts, Balsam Cove Campground, Orland Maine
