I just wanted to say thank you so much for praying for Brody. His surgery went very well. It took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to perform the surgery. He was away from us for about 3 hours though. That was the longest 3 hours of my life. His doctors and nurses were wonderful. We only has a couple of scares with his blood pressure going up really high and he kept throwing up. He got over the bp issue pretty quickly, and the next day he started keeping food down. I have a very tough little boy. On Tuesday, we didn't know if we were going to be able to go home because he wasn't eating and when he ate would not keep it down. Well, about 1:30 he was laying on the bed and started to cry a little. My mom picked him up and bounced him to sleep. A little while after that his IV started to beep. The nurse came in and checked it, and she said that she was going to have to redo something. I told that he had kept two bottles down, so she called the doctor to see if Brody still needed the IV. She came back and not only did Brody not need the IV she had discharge orders. She came back in about an hour later to take out the IV. She looked at it and said, "I have never seen this before. He took out his own IV." We couldn't believe it. There wasn't even any blood. We wondered why he cried a little. Now we know. He just wanted to go home. Thank you again for your prayers.
Mommy and Brody hunkered down for the night. I am very relieved in this picture that his blood pressure is down.
This is pic is really funny because he is asleep, but keeping one eye on us. I guess he was making sure that we didn't let them do anything else to him.
