LDS Hospital

Andy arrived at LDS Hospital today around 4:30 p.m. He made the transfer safely and the doctors are currently evaluating his situation. The family is all moved in to a house just up the street. There is plenty of room in the house, a kitchen, and common area for them. Currently no other people are there with them, but that could change at any time. Unfortunately, the house rules do not allow anyone outside of the immediate family to visit.

LDS Hospital is much more strict than UVRMC concerning visiting hours and especially cell phone use, as Raymond can attest--they practically threw him up against the wall and conducted a strip search when he opened his phone to check a phone number. They said we can visit nearly anytime in very small groups, except for the hours between 6-8 a.m. and 6-8 p.m.

The Garcia family would like to express their appreciation for all the love and help that has been given to them. They are very appreciative and thankful that he has so many people who care about him.
