Beginning May Andy was diagnosed Covid and I started this thread to keep his ipernity friends updated on his condition.

After 50 days in induced coma he finally came back to life and now he is dealing with rehab.

During all these long days you all kept sending him all our positive energy and love and I am sure this helped a lot on his way back to light.

He will be surely very pleased and touched to read all your messages and see how much he is loved among our community.

I will keep updating you here on the major rehab progress, but no need anymore to do it on a daily basis.

I want to thank you all for this support and tell you how rewarding all your testimonies are to me.

Merci Isabel.... Andy je souhaite qu'il s'en sorte... et moralement
dans mon conscient et subconscient je penserais très fort à lui.. merci pour ton initiative .. de groupe..
Andy je l'ai connu par son passage dans le Bordelais en tant que ouvrier viticole la photo de son avatar le montre.. il m'a dit que c'est une photo lorsqu'il était à Bordeaux.
mais Isabel.. s'il doit guérir c'est que ce n'était pas son jour pour nous quitter( et je lui souhaite de tout coeur) la destinée est celle qui aura choisie, le jour de ton départ..sur terre.
Covid.., Cancer , AVC(accident vasculaire cérébral ) arrêt cardiaque etc etc...c'est ça la destiné
de tout le monde ... celle qui te fera partir

Tu parles comme quelqu'un de mon Sud: nous ne sommes pas très religieux (contrairement aux Andalous) mais le sentiment de fatalisme est très présent, nous tenons cela de nos origines sémites. En donnant la vie les humains donnent la maladie et la mort, cela est compris dans le pack... et il faut bien mourrir de quelque chose.
J'espère que pour Andy ce ne soit pas son heure, c'est un homme foncièrement bon, et ceux-là partent toujours trop tôt (on dit que la méchanceté conserve... j'ai une voisine au village, une vraie saleté toute sa vie, elle a 102 ans et toujours aussi mauvaise...)

So glad to read that you can wrap the healing/calming qualities of nature around you Isabel. Nature has such a way of putting us at ease when we are in a stressful waiting period such as we find ourselves with Andy and his fight to stay with us. I hope his family and all his friends are finding ways to keep the stress from effecting their well being. Hang in there everyone!

Possibly the hospital works on a more essential crew on the weekend and it's harder to get through to them on the phone, but I think you are right, Isabel: this is probably a situation where no news is most likely good news or, at least, no-change news. Hang in there, Andy! You are very much in our thoughts!

As I walked on the lovely trail around Woahink Lake this morning I looked out on the beautiful tiny island that enchants any visitor. A pair of ducks swam away from shore, towards the island, the sun twinkling on the tiny ripples on the lakes surface. I thought of you and your beautiful pictures that take me away to coastlines far from my home. I wished I could share this lovely place with you. Walk with you along the root-riddled path and under the azalea bushes just starting to bloom.

You are in my thoughts, Andy. I send my energy and warm wishes your way...be well my friend.
