A quote we wanted to share with all of you



When Christopher Reeve, a true American hero,
was asked, soon before his passing, what he thought a hero was, he
replied, " I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds the
strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.
They are the real heroes, and so are the family and friends who have
stood by them."




Kris & Andrea Poems



Kris, Sixteen
<
Never Mean,

Thin and Tall,

Loved Basketball,

Had A Great Girlfriend,

She Had the Best Boyfriend,

Were like birds of a feather,

Always together,

Andrea’s, Her Name,

She’s not the Same,

Because
He’s In Heaven,

and She’s on Earth.

Kris’sister



KRIS


Boy I love you,

Oh God, ask Him, He knows I do.

If you just hold me, just for a few,

You'll always be the one I run to.

One day you will see,

If you love me like this, it will continue to be.

Always and forever,just you and me.

It sounds so perfect,James Kristopher and Andrea Leigh!

Sometimes we question if this is right,

Because we're scared so bad, we tend to fight.

But no matter what our love just gets strong and tight,

And in the end we know it will be alright.

This special thing is the best,

Even if sometimeswe have to clear our chest.

It's so much greater,when compared to the rest.

Even if sometimes I worryyou like a pest!

Me and you we have so much fun,

If I could weigh what you mean to me,it would overpower a ton.

That's why even if I wanted to,I couldn't run.

And you're what I want him to like,if one day I had a son.

When we're together we "shine."

That's why you will forever be mine.

Can't you see Kris, it's a sign,

Just keep it up and it will all be fine.

Always remember this,

I love you, You're my Baby Kris.

Love you always,

Andrea

SCARED



I'm scared of something going wrong,

Petrified of not being able to stay strong.

Terrified of you letting goand I'll be holding on

The fact is you could always change your mind,

You could forget why you love me over time.

You may think to yourself,"There's no reason to stay."

You may see me crying,but you leave anyway.

You could walk out and never look back,

With me standing there trying to figure out what we lack.

You could wake up one morning with me by your side,

Wanting to run but having turmoil inside your mind.

Call me crazy, it's true I could be!

I just don't wanna lose what we have between you and me.

We've had long discussions about all of this,

But you also know I can not promise eternal bliss.

I know my problems, at time like fire, they can burn,

I know you love me, that's not even my concern.

You tell me you are not my past boyfriends,

I realized that long ago,

and...I'm not saying that you will treat me bad,

But you might grow out of loving me like some 'out of style fad.'

I can't help but be afraid,

My love for you grows so much stronger everyday.

I'm sorry to be so pathetic and insecure,

I just want to be completely sure.

No matter what may happen, I'll always stick by you,

Love and life may be very hard and cruel.

I'm not leaving you or going anywhere,

I'll always be with you and always care.

Baby, you mean everything to me,

It's simple: Yours is what I'll forever be.

I may be frightened and afraid of losing your love,

But when I look into your eyes I'm not so scared anymore!

Deep down I know it's all going to be okay!!



Kris, I love you Baby!

I don't want that ever to change!

It's you and me, always and forever! I LOVE YOU!

Love Always,

Andrea

IF JESUS CAME

Would you have to change your clothes before you let him in?
Or hide some magazines,and put the Bible where they'd been?

Would you hide your worldly music and put some hymn books out?
Could you let Jesus walk right in,or would you rush about?

And I wonder it the Savior spent a day or two with you,
Would you go right on doing,the things you always do?

Would you go right on saying,the things you always say?
Or would life for you continue as it does from day to day?

Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you go?
Or would you maybe change your plans for just a day or so?

Would you be glad to have Him meet your closest friends?
Or would you hope they stay away until His visit ends?

Would you be glad to have Him stay forever on and on?
Or would you sigh with great relief when He at last was gone?

It might be interesting to know,the things that you would do.
If Jesus came in person,to spend some time with you.

We have been on this website for over three yrs. So this next section is our losses that Our Family has gone through and Andrea's accident. We added this section to stay on here all the time because of people who have asked these questions through the yrs.

It is also here to show how God has pulled us through so much and gets all the glory. He is such an awesome God. So, if you dont want to know about my trials and tribulations then continue down to the journal section. I am Andrea's mother, Gale and help keep her webpage up. I think it is only fair to share what pain we have all had to deal with not counting what all of my children have.



My life of tragedy started when I was 9 and my dad John got killed in a car wreck. My dad was from a family of 8 boys and 3 girls. My mom was from a family of 6 boys and 4 girls. I have 3 sisters & had 1 brother. On Sundays we had to visit both worlds so, we saw fighting and loving families.



I lost uncles and my grandmother Mary to cancer on my dads side & my grandfather Bob had a stroke before that. I had three children by my first husband, 1 son, Joshua, in 1975 & twin sons, Jason & Joseph, in 1978. In 1980, I lost Jason, my first twin, at 2 1/2 to drowning at his great-grandfather's while on vacation in TX. That set of twins were identical so, it was really hard on me to look at Joey without seeing Jason.



Six months after that, their dad Bill and I had split up after dating since 8th grade and married 9 yrs. Shortly after that, I had my out of body experience when, I got Toxic Shock and was hospitalized for two weeks with my whole body infected and left in God's hands. Next was my grandfather Leo and grandmother Octavia in a tornado that killed my grandfather on my moms side.



In 1985, I lost my next set of twins while pregnant in a car wreck with my boyfriend who I lived with for 5 yrs. I was then put on birth control but, got pregnant with 3rd set while on antibiotics. No drugs to have twins either just a blessing! That is where my girls came in Adrienne & Andrea.



My step-father Raeford was killed from a forest fire he dug fire trails for that he had been fighting for over 2 weeks. He died from smoke inhalation before Adrienne and Andrea was born a couple of mths later. Next, I lost my brother-in-law Roger from a gun accident that was like my brother. Then I lost my best friend Vicki to cancer.



The next one was my only brother William at 32yrs. old who was my hero. He was on dialysis from nephritis that he was born with. He had been on dialysis for seven yrs. and tried different things that ended up making him so weak, he just wanted to go home with Jesus. He planned his own funeral down to the last detail. He was 4 yrs younger than me and lived with me til, he got remarried. I was with him when he took his last breath and I watched his soul lift from his body and his sores heal before my eyes. I then knew how God answered prayers when people asked to heal someone but, God & he were both ready to take his soul home. That experience taught me alot!



Well then I lost several more uncles, grandfather Bob, cousins & best friends. I had separated from the girls dad Charles the week before they were born because, he decided he wasnt ready for kids. Well then I lived on my own the next 4 yrs until I married Elmer, who liked me since elementary school. We stayed together for 4 yrs but, because of how he treated our kids different(He had 2 and I had 4) it didnt work. We stayed best friends like I did with my first husband but, we just couldnt agree on treating our kids equal.



My son Joey wanted to still work with his step-father so, I moved out of town to give my girls a better life and raise them in a different town. We moved to Kerr Lake so, Joey moved in with his step-father and the rest moved with me. I also had took in another boy for 8yrs that was Joey the twin's age named Dwayne. He moved to Kerr Lake also with us.



Well in Nov. 2000 my Uncle Ray I was taking care of died of cancer. Exactly 11 days later, Joey went to pick his step-father up from his mom's house and found him passed away from a heart attack. He was trying to get to his breathing machine for his lung disease's. I came back to my hometown for 2 weeks and helped him get started all over again.



My son talked to me about if, he ever died what he wanted and I never dreamed 4mths. to the day he would be gone too. He was killed 3-11-01 in a car wreck that exploded. I have never gone through so much as I did those two weeks. People stealing flowers from the funeral home, his clothes, pictures from family homes where we had visitations & so much more not counting him burning up. It was unbelievable!



Joey also had wanted to be buried with his twin brother Jason that was buried in the public cemetary. So, we had him moved during Joey's funeral to the family cemetary that was made when the government took my mom's land to expand the base. We had to wait for the rain to stop because, the grave kept caving in. It was like going through two funerals at once. They were buried side by side on St. Patrick's Day.



I went back home and had to keep my girls out of depression as much as possible while keeping my self together. Well I had let 2 brothers that were my friends stay with us until they got their home set up. April 29th, 2001, one of them had a tractor fall on him and wasnt found for two hrs. so, another friend gone.



Then it was more uncles, the girls grandfather C.H. during a heart operation that died. We had 10 family funerals in that year. Well then June, 2002 Gary got in a wreck, then Sept. 10th, my daughter Adrienne got in wreck with head injuries and memory loss. So, when Nov.17th, 2002, and the deputy came knocking on my door around 11:30pm, 25 minutes after I had talked to Andrea, letting me know she had been in a wreck, I went into shock.



When I heard him say I needed to go to the hospital as soon as possible I couldnt move, think and can barely remember going in her room before they airlifted her to UNC-CH. I only had 5 min. with her and then I had to get a way to Chapel Hill which was 45min. away. I was also told her boyfriend Kris who she loved and loves dearly had not made it. His parents asked if I wanted to go see him but,I couldn't handle it at the moment.



I didnt get to see Andrea until 4:45am after getting to Chapel Hill while they worked on her. When, I went in the trauma room I stayed there every moment that they would let me. That is where I stayed, living off chocolate milkshakes. I stayed with her all night and whenever I could during the day until, she was moved 3 weeks later to the trauma floor. Then I learned to suction her trac and do range of motion exercise on her. I massaged her for 2-3 hrs. with her favorite bath & body works lotion trying to get her to respond. I never left her and just kept praying.



Andrea had axonal diffusal(bleeding and shearing all over her brain), severe broken neck in C-2 area, 3 broken ribs, 2 collapsed lungs, pneumonia, subachnoid hemorrage in the occipital area. That is why she had vertical and horizontal doublevision. They called all our families together. They thought she wouldn't live and if so only 10% chance. Then they said, what I had was what I would get, a vegatable.



She was then sent to Greenville's Pitt Co. Peds Rehab In NC for 50 days before being sent home because of insurance still in a coma. I slept beside her the whole time. I had a choice between nursing home or home with me. I knew my daughter wasnt going to a nursing home at 16 so, home it was. I then took care of her learning to give her shots in hers stomach for blood clotting, tube feeding her and learning all the info on traumatic brain injuries that I could.



I had to chose between nursing help and therapy so, I chose therapy. Her twin sister learned to tube feed her so, she could give me some rest after school. I would have to get up every 2 hrs to turn her and 4 hrs to feed her. Then came the battle with the school system for the next year and a half. They wouldnt let her in school because, of being in wheelchair and afraid she would get hurt, lol.



I never knew about IEP's and found out the hard way. I tried getting the state & other agencies to help but, of course they wanted me to do all the work. Something that is hard to do when you are a parent, caregiver, advocate, best friend, nurse & so much more. Same as trying to do something about my son's wreck that happened on yellow line, no help even though we had witness's, no help also with Adrienne's and Andrea's wreck. All three wrecks due to someone elses fault. Thats ok though cause the Lord knows the truth & they cant lie to him



Andrea remembered her boyfriend getting killed, who caused the wreck,and hearing it was too late for Kris and a third person at the wreck. When we called the highway patrolman he told me if, I got girls cell # to show she called her parents before police he would investigate, LOL. Another job they wanted me to do while, I was taking care of her and her sister plus, fighting for their school rights. I went to the legislator, newspaper & everywhere. That is when I found out how little towns scratch each others back.



Andrea got so upset that when she graduated she wanted to move back to our hometown. By the way, she remembers sign language from third grade and that is how we communicate. She just knows abc's and cant open her left hand all the way so, her sister and I have to communicate for her. We did finally get her a Dynavox(computer that talks) but,didnt get it, thanks to the School Board and EC Dept., until after graduation. So, no one knew how to use it, LOL still waiting for someone to help her learn.



Her vocal chords work but, the part of brain that sends the messages to the body to do things and vocalization get mixed up on the way for now. That is why we know the Good Lord is going to give her voice back oneday and let her walk again too. She said God told her so. She fights so hard and I do everything I can to try to keep her from getting depressed. She is so lonely because everyone has gone on with their lives now.



In the beginning her classmates collected $2,000 to pay for her class ring that came in the week of her wreck and to add on to her room so, she could come home. It hurt them so bad to see her like that. They dedicated their school annual to her for "Class of 2004 Miracle" in 11th & 12th grade. They wrote class song, poem and speech, then the whole senior class of 225 gave her a standing ovation when her name was called to get her diploma with the school staff & crowd following. More than the administration and school board did. She graduated on National Honor Society 3.87GPA even though she wasnt allowed to take her end of grade tests and never received her awards she deserved and worked so hard for.



Her right side is her weaker side, she cant sit up alone, she has a hard time holding her head up long, swallowing, tremors in her left arm, spasticity, tone & cloneous, cant tell for sure when to go to bathroom, she needs help with everything for now. But, she has alot of determination and never wants a break. She has her long and short term memory, which is unusual exspecailly with bleeding and shearing throughout the brain. She cant cry and other emotions that show on the outside when her soul is feeling different on the inside. She helps others who have been in comas and their families. She told us she couldn't get her eyes to open or body to move but, could hear us when in her coma. She even signed to me her nose hurt from where tube was in her nose when in coma. Amazing!!!



She loves Tim And Faith McGraw even more now because, she first started responding listening to her 3 favorite songs "Dont Take The Girl" & " Breathe" & "Its Your Love". Amazing that that is what we were praying at the same time. She calls them her family since, they had a part in helping her come out of coma. She hopes to thank them in person oneday and let their daughters know how special their parents are.



We lost our grandmother Octavia 1-21-2004 that was in her 90's and the rock of all the family. She never had anyone child or adult disrespect her. When asked what she was doing she would reply "Hanging out with the Lord". Andrea asked to be with her the last three days she was in the nursing home. She went to church with the folks at the nursing home and asked for "Old Rugged Cross" to be sung. As family gathered and cried as Andrea tapped her foot she smiled with memories. They then sent them to my grandmothers room and she tried so hard to sing.



Later after midnight and things had gotten quite Andrea signed to go pray with her Granny. After spending time with her she turned to have me tell my mom and her Great-Aunts that she told Granny she could go to heaven with Leo(my grandfather who was killed in tornado) and it would be alright. She couldnt stand to see her there looking like she was suffering. As we went to the waiting room with her tired and red eyes we saw my aunt come out and get the nurse. We knew then Granny had gone to heaven



Andrea never told me what all she said to her but, as much as Granny loved and worried about her, Im sure she signed to her that she would be alright too and not to worry. During her wake there was so many people that Andrea waited in the hall until they all had gone but, family. She then wanted to go and see them but, couldnt go see her granny. She signed she wanted to remember her by their last visit so we left.



The next day at the funeral, she wanted to get in the back even though they had fixed a spot for her. When we went to the cemetary it was windy and cold and I tried to get her to sit in the car beside where Granny was but, she refused and wanted to sit with the rest. She always signs that she can remember Granny is happy now because, she had been wanting to go home with the Lord.



To all our angels in heaven we miss you and love you so much!!! Myself, I have Lupus, Fibromyalgia & degenerating disc disease in my neck & lower back that I found out the week before my son was killed in 2001. I havent been able to get to a dr. yet since Andrea's wreck so, I take natural herbs that have helped along with the Good Lord, angels & prayers.



Now I am battling with developmental disabilities to help Andrea in a new county since August, 2004. It is so unbelievable I couldnt get diapers or pads until I called her dr. in another county and he had his case manager send them from another town. I do their jobs around here & it seems they get paid for it. They all worry about CAP like I dont know they get double the money if she was on it.



Any ways that is just some of our lives trials and tribulations. We shared our story with you because, we feel it helps to understand who we are and how strong our faith and love for God is. Also that we can relate to so many people. Other than my mother and sisters, we've lost every kind of loved one possible. We've been through all the rest in all kinds of different ways be it fires, tornado's, wrecks, gun accidents, drowning, natural death or disease's such as cancer, etc... We pray that God doesnt take any other loved ones now because, we have just lost too many already. It seems we have more loved ones in Heaven than here on earth. Maybe that is why I try to search for others to help when Andrea is resting. Thank you for reading some of our hardtimes in life. Thanks for your prayers, visiting and signing the guestbook too.

Auguast 7, 2007 Brief Update!

Andrea's Wish came true of meeting Tim & Faith July 20th, 2007. Update coming as soon as we get pics back so we can update all at once. Lots of working with Andrea and fighting for help takes up so much of our time that it is hard to keep up with all her pages and updates. We were upset to come on today and find we had lost one with all her graduation and hospital pics as well as other pics. Thank all of you who continue to support us and understand our lives are very overwhelming and we do try to keep you up to date when new and exciting things happen. God Bless, Gale, Andrea & Family


May 17th, 2007 Update

Sorry we havent updated in a while but, we have been trying to work on getting things together to build a house for Andrea to have more room. She wants a bathroom that she can be able to take a shower or bath in since she has been having bed baths because there's no room in her sister's house. She also needs room for her braces, equipment, etc.. and to do therapy everyday since she only has her nurses-aide, twin sister and mom to help her and not much room.

Andrea spends alot of time with her neice Alexie who will be one in June. Alexie is learning to walk now so its hard to keep her still for long, lol. Dylan and Kayley, who are 2 of Joey's(Andrea's brother RIP 3-11-01) children, have been coming to spend time with us more lately and Andrea loves that. Kevin left for Iraq in February and is suppose to be home by August. So keep him and all our troops in your prayers. Alexie watches when all marines walk by with camies cause that is what she remembers her daddy wearing.

The Sunshine Foundation sent Andrea, Adrienne & Mom to Disney World, Animal Kingdom & Sea World in November. We got to stay in the Sunshine Village and it was all decorated for Christmas. It was too cool for the pool so, we just walked around and checked all the village out and visited the ladies in the office that were so kind. They let Andrea pick some gifts from under the Christmas Tree that ended up being a blessing. She picked an angel bear and homemade safari quilt that fit her wheelchair perfect.

We went to Magic Kingdom the first night and it was the first night of the Christmas Special Lights and Parade. So we were able to see two parades, shows and two firework shows. Andrea loved meeting all the Disney characters, Santa and even Kaley's Aunt & Uncle. Small world with all those people there but, they spotted us coming off the boat close to the fireworks. It was a surprise since the Christmas special was sold out and we didnt know anyone we knew was there. We didnt find out there was an elevator by the tram til we had already pushed Andrea all the way up the hill when leaving. That was a long day and night so we were ready for bed when we got back to the cottage.

We went to Animal Kingdom the second day and watched another parade. Andrea went on the safari ride and loved it. I think that was her favorite of all. We laughed at Adrienne when she rode Space Mountain cause her hair was straight up, lol. We meet more characters while there and outside when we were leaving. Thanks to the Sunshine Foundation for a rear entrance van that made transferring Andrea back and forth so much easier and comfortable for Andrea. I must say they did a wonderful job of arranging our flights and trip to Florida and back for Andrea's needs and all our enjoyment.

The third day we went to Sea World and loved every moment. We saw all the shows and some twice, saw the Clydsedales and petted one, ate some good food and had a friend join us from Jacksonville whos daughter lives near Orlando. We meet up with them the next day before our flight left for lunch at Cracker Barrel and some shopping for souviners. We had a wait at the airport due to lack of flight attendents so, we got home late and freezing from the rain. Its nice to be first to get on the plane but, running late when you are the last ones to get off. Andrea did well at flying for her first time.

Andrea's brother Joshua and family lives in CA. We flew with Andrea over to his wedding in March. Joshua and Mickey had been married but, had a church wedding before their baptism in the Catholic Church. We got to visit lots of family we havent seen in a long time while there. The wedding was beautiful and our visit was great. Andrea did so well at flying from the East To the West Coast and back. Even Miss Alexie did good even though she didnt want to sleep very much. We did have a young lady from Germany have a seizure across the aisle from us. The airlines did an outstanding job handling the emrgency after we buzzed for help.

We have taken Andrea to see some of her favorite country singers like Jason Michael Carroll and Chris Young. June 30th will be Andrea & Adrienne's 21st birthday. So we have decided to go to see Jason M. Carroll in June, Tim McGraw & Faith Hill in July & Kenny Chesney in August as their birthday gifts. We are also planning to fly back to CA after Kevin gets home to visit family again and spend more time checking CA out.

Now for some updates on Andrea. Andrea has said mom, momma a couple times. That comes and goes for now but, she has learned to move her mouth to carry on a conversation. She gets tired easy so, some days she doesnt feel like trying to talk but, exercise other parts of her body. Andrea's Dr and I have tried different ways of trying Ambien to see if it helps Andrea since it does the opposite to her. It did make her more awake but when it built up in her system she would get her sleep cycles mixed up. So we decided Andrea does best by letting the good Lord do his job healing her and all the prayers through faith.Andrea isnt on medications but, to help her bowels. So, we are very blessed by that.

Andrea has her family, friends and all of her online friends to thank for hanging in there and having the faith, love & hope that she continues to improve. She hasnt given up even though she still cant walk alone or talk all the time. But, she tries very hard and without funds for cognitive rehab, therapists, education, awareness & research she has to depend on us to help her. We are still fighting and hope with all we have learned and been through, to help others from having to go through all that we have to get this far.

When Adrienne takes her exam to be Traumatic Brain Injury Certified she can train others to help brain injury/coma survivors. She wants to help other Special Needs adults and children like she does now but, more education and training. Adrienne has gotten into the health field because of her sister and seeing how there are so many with brain injuries and special needs needing certified help. We also want to let everyone know to support GoodSearch web search and toolbar that helps nonprofit organizations and charities. They give a penny for every time you use the internet for the nonprofit of your choice if they are listed. We hope to have ours listed soon plus we support brain injury research, Life Rolls On and The Tug McGraw Foundation as a few. Andrea also grows her hair for "Locks Of Love".

We also hope to help with the Wounded Warriors that are here and coming back from war here at Camp Lejune and Wooran.com that helps our troops as well. We apologize again for taking so long for the update but, between babysitting Miss Alexie, taking care of Andrea & all the other projects we have going on it is hard. We have several pages on myspace that we have also on Andrea's Foundation, In Memory of Joseph & Jason & our page all of our family & friends on Mama Gale & Andrea.

We also added some new pictures of Andrea under her photos. We do come and read Andrea her guestbook and page here to show her how much she is cared and prayed about. So please dont forget to sign her guestbook and leave her a hug. Also check her song and Andrea's Gear Page there by clicking on the banner. We love and thank all of you. God Bless, Andrea & Family
