January 4th
Mr. Bichler is now in stable condition and will be moved out of the Surgical Intensive Care Unit in the next day or so. They took him off the ventilator yesterday and he is breathing all on his own and is able to talk. He was evaluated by a speech therapist today to gauge when he will be able to start eating on his own. Tomorrow he will start working with a physical and occupational therapist to start getting him back in shape. I know he wants to get back to school and coaching his team as soon as possible. He is making great improvements but full recovery is expected to take a long time.

Hi Andy, Carol, Sara, Trish, and family..........
ReplyDeleteRick and I are eccstatic that Andy is doing much better. We have been praying for all of you several times a day, and have had him in our minds and hearts. Rick is sending him an article from Cubs.com, so you can keep him informed on all the latest Cub news! We will definitely be over to see him as soon as you feel it is appropriate. Until then........all of you know that TONS of well wishes are with you all.
Love,
Mary and Rick Loochtan

ReplyDeleteHi Trish, Sara, & Carol-
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that Andy is doing better. It has been all I can do to keep Kelsie from coming up to see him. Please let him know that she is going to do everything she can to pump up that team so they can win every game for him while he is away. You are in our thoughts and prayers, and please let us know if there is anything Wade and I can do! You know you cant keep a good man down for long :)

I am so glad Andy is making progress. He has been in my thoughts and prayers daily. I really wish I could be with Deb every time she goes to see him, but I understand, ICU is limited to the people that can get in.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait till he has been moved to a step-down unit so I can see him. Andy I know you will make it though this and come out just fine, you would'nt have it any other way.
Til I can see you, keep up the good fight.

Hi Bichler family. Lots of good wishes and prayers sent your way. I believe that positive thoughts and such a close, loving family can work miracles. Guess that puts the pressure on you, Andy, to prove it's true. Looks like you are already doing that. Can't wait to see you for myself.
