MDA Day 40
March 17 Happy St. Patrick's Day. It was one year ago Andrea received her 2nd stem cell transplant from her sister, Kristin. She's as anxious to get out this time as last year. Andrea had a really good morning. Her bed can be manuvered to a sitting position with her feet dropped down. She stayed that way 2 hours this morning and then the PT and OT came in and moved her to wheelchair. She used her left arm to help the therapist push the wheelchair around the 11th floor. She continued sitting in the wheelchair for a shampoo and stay there until well after lunch. I think she will be sore from so much activity, but knowing Andrea she will count it as gain because of using muscles she so desperately wants to use. The lungs are improving and please continue to pray for the neurological condition.

Your family continues to be in my prayers. Andrea, you are an inspiration to so many people who have never even met you, including myself. I pray that I can be a strong Christian woman like you are when God is shaping my clay into the beautiful vessel he intends for me to be. I knew there was a reason your mother and I worked together years ago at McDonald Jr. High, and I think part of it was so that I could witness a miracle of God in you. God bless you and continue to heal you. Marsha Molden
