Name: Linda Huston Comments: Andrew and family, Greetings and love to you all. I just found, by some inspired "coincidence," a piece of student work that was so good I'd saved it as an example of excellence for future classes. Guess whose name was on it? Andrew!(remember The Giver?)....from 7th grade. It was clear then, as now, that this is an exceptional person. Everything that's happened in recent months only confirms that BIG TIME! Clearly, so many people have been inspired and become focused on what really matters in life because of the examples of courage and love that your family has demonstrated. God bless you all and "keep on keeping on...." love and hugs!

Name: The Kusunose Family Comments: Hi Andrew! You may not remember us but you played soccer with our son Kyle many years ago. You both must have been 7 or 8 years old. The team was coached by Coach Fish....remember? The team was awesome largely because of you. We see that you are still quite the leader only now you are touching the lives of so many others. Kyle is returning home today from the Dominican Republic. He went on a mission trip with 11 of his basketball teammates from SFC. We have been saying prayers for you darlin and we are so happy to hear of your triumph through the surgery. Being that Kyle's parents are both physical therapist, we know the hard work expected of you and why. Remember each little victory is a step to another bigger one and keep feeling all of your friends and family's love. We all wish to give you our strength and God hears us! You are truly embraced by us all and the Lord. We continue to pray for you Andrew and send our Love in a continuous, constant flow!

Name: Mike Giblin Comments: Hey man, I would like to share with the people reading your guestbook some of my observations. Not only are your one of the strongest, most couragous people I know, you are genuinely kind, considerate & grateful. I have seen you interacting with those hard working professionals at Scripps & your good manners & the gratitude have impressed many. Your parents have done a tremendous job of raising a fine young gentleman who is not self-absorbed, needy, or whiney given the severity of your condition. Everything happens for a reason. At some point you will see why this challenge has been given to you. While you wait for that sign, eat like like everyday is Thanksgiving so you can get strong enough to kick some butt with rehab. You have become La Costa's mascot for strength & courage. Everyone is pulling for you. I love you,pal. P.S. Send Kelly home, she has to clean her room.
Name: Mitzi Lea Comments: Hey Andrew, looks like your getting thrown out of the hospital sometime next week, you better get a move on and get your butt out of that bed! If anyone can do it...it would be you! Don't give up, we are all cheering you on!...The Lea's
Name: Jean Bruns Comments: Good morning, Andrew and family....I am on my way out of the door to meet with a young lady for the summer session of classes.. It will be very different than for you, Andrew, since I will attempt to be teaching basic reading and writing skills.....No test questions like One Hundred Years...:-) We are still holding you all in our prayers, and in our thoughts, every day! It sounds like you are meeting some real challenges at this time, as much with your physical self as with your mental self!...You will rise to the occasion, beyond a doubt. I am certain you are becoming anxious to see all your friends who have been so faithful and supportive, and wish that for you, too. I am still having to bake quite a bit, so you have to get well enough to tolerate some of my goodies for you...Heaven knows you could use the benefits of the calories more than I can despair in them! :-) Must sign off and get about my business, but just wanted to say "hi" and to let you know we are Very Interested
Name: Carole Comments: You go Andrew! I am one of the Grandma's that prayed you through that morning on the operating table. What a miracle you are! I am absolutely sure that God saved you for a very important reason! 24 years ago we almost lost our 18 year old daughter to a three wheeler accident. She not only survived, she is now 42 and the Mom of four beautiful girls ages almost 4 to almost 14. She said she always knew that God had saved her for a special reason. Four daughterslater, we sure do know the reason. And just to be sure we know His reason, Bella the 3 1/2 year old was born 20 years to the day of the accident. God is so faithful Andrew. Just continue to trust that He has you right in the palm of his hand and He is protecting you and taking perfect care of you.

Name: Jean Bruns Comments: Good morning! Just a note this time to let you know we are still thinking about you every day and we are still holding you in our prayers...for recovery and good health! It sounds as if those prayers are being answered each day, too. :-) Remember, Andrew, I have always said, "Cream rises to the top!" and you, my dear young man are truly cream! I am so happy to hear, also, that you are beginning to be hungry; I will be keeping that in mind and will look to the time when I can start bringing you some of the "fruits of our harvest" :-) We are still harvesting apples and blackberries like crazy. I made a big blackberry cobbler yesterday, just off one of our barrels! (we have 4 others)! I also experimented with an apple-cranberry crumb pie, and an apple-pear pie, and an "Apple Lady apple cake." Despite the experimentation, they all pretty much disappeared, so I guess they were "keepers." :-) There is not much other news; I am teaching, still; there are a few "loose ends" that

I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word. I didn't ask for wealth or fame I knew you wouldn't mind. I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind. I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day To grant you health and blessings And friends to share the way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.

Name: Alyson Gilmore Comments: I was unable to donate blood yesterday at the Encinitas mobile blood van but I made an appointment for the North County facility this morning. However, when I showed up, I learned that when I made my appointment on line, I must have made it at the Escondido office rather than the Vista/Oceanside office. They were not open for donations today. The staff person however was very kind when she saw my VIP Donor card and I explained that it is for a friend that I came today. She asked if it was for the "young Encinitas boy" and I said "yes"...She said that the staff has been so overwhelmed with emotion at seeing the numbers of donations for him. I explained that if she knew the family, she would understand the response the community has shown. Her reply to me was a big smile and she told me that she has heard the same response from all of Andrew's donators. I'll be going back tomorrow for my donation..but we'd love to know the response you have rec'd in numbers of donations rec'd.

(I hope a 500 ml of my lawyer blood from Indio doesn't botch it all up). I've been checking and, yep, everybody is behind you one hundred percent. Some of these young gals on your website are behind you 200 percent! All are deeply moved by your strength. The little problems that many of us allow to become obstacles in our lives are nothing compared to the mountains you have already climbed. You have made a difference in my life. Although I have seen you as a baby, a small boy, and a young teenager, I look forward to knowing you as the wonderful young man that you have become. See you soon.

Alex, Tamilyn, Marc, Kiley, Kelly, and a bunch of other people and you and me were playing soccer together... and you had LONG hair :)I got a really great feeling after that because I know that it's going to come true. I'm thinking it'll be next summer when we're all back from college. Just thought I'd let you know... Keep your head up and stay strong! love, Kat :) PS: Don't worry.. in my dream you were still MUCH better looking than Alex.

Name: Anna P. Comments: What's up Andrew? my name is Anna, and i am 15 years old, and a survivor of bone cancer(osteogenic sarcoma). Today was just an ordinary afternoon, I was watching t.v. when my dad came home from work. He told me that Bonnie Pennock ( she also signed your guest book) sent me an email with your website atatched. so, i got up, right that second and started reading about you. Cancer is a scary thing, and i can relate verry much. I found out that i had cancer the day that my 8th grade school year started. I went through 7 or more months of chemo therapy. It sucked! I hate hearing about anyone who has cancer because I know how it feels. I will be praying for you and your family. If you or your family has any questions, please feel free to email us (majavsfan@attbi.com). get well soon - Anna P. (denver, co)

Name: Mr. Fisher Comments: I don’t know if you remember me, but I am still here teaching at Diegueno. Another year is coming to end and I have met only a handful of students of your caliber. Its weird in away, I always have very bright students, but I only have a few students each year that make me say, “Wow, I wish I could be like him/her.” It is students like you that inspire teacher’s like me to become better professional and personally.
