Katie (Andrews Sister): This blog started out as a way to keep family and friends informed and updated on Andrew's condition when he was in the hospital, starting with a stroke in June of 2012. Andrew has had issues, mostly unexplainable by doctors since 1999. He has been a medical mystery for years.When Andrew had a stroke in June 2012, he slowly went down hill for over a month, leading to a seizure the doctors couldn’t get under control that lasted 21 hours, leading to a coma for weeks then eventually leading to us having to say goodbye to him at the young age of 19, on the evening of July 23rd, 2012. The doctors came to the conclusion that he had Mitochondrial Disease. This is what we've been through, i am hoping this will be helpful to someone else, and therapeutic for myself.
