2. I talked to him tonight...

He's trying to get into a program at Johns Hopkins. He's got some inside pull but is waiting to hear back. Keep your fingers crossed.

You should call him...I know he'd love to hear from you.

4. Do you mean there's still a chance even though the program's full?

That would be incredible!

5. Like I said...

there's a chance. I'm not sure how much Andy wants made public. Keep your fingers crossed. We should know soon.

7. Does anyone know if he's gotten his diabetes under control yet?

That really concerns me since that was holding up his surgery. That was my impression, anyway...

8. The last time he and I talked about it...

his blood sugars had dropped significantly and were getting close to "normal". I know he's being a very good boy and watching what he eats. Sugar-free fudgsicles are the order of the day. :)

9. Thank you, VelmaD!

That is VERY good news indeed! Do you remember that diabetes was a factor in Jeff Matson's death? It was, and it is no joke to fool around with. I'm sure that Andy is fully aware of that, too...Thank you for letting me know so quickly!

:hi:

10. You're welcome...

and thanks for the reminder to poke him about his blood sugar again. It's been a few days.
