ICYMI-AN UPDATE ON ANDREW WOLFE

FROM THE Catholic Tradition & Evangelization FB PAGE


PLS CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR WOLFE.

Update from soldier shot in DC

Andy Wolfe’s mother Melody says he is NOT awake and responsive, in the truest sense, but IS responsive in a few simple commands like raising his thumb, squeezing my hand, and wiggling his toes.
Andy underwent an angiogram, he has no aneurysms or blood clots and everything looked good! His neurosurgeon said he is happy with what he is seeing and that this is a major milestone!!! Praise God

Many have asked about sending cards to Andy. You can address it to:

Andy Wolfe
Berkeley County Sheriff’s Dept
510 South Raleigh Street
Martinsburg, WV 25401

Andy’s oxygen dropped a tad last night but we think it’s because of mucus buildup so they’re doing a small procedure to get the mucus and then he should be fine 
I love you all 
Keep the prayers coming warriors
