Another Difficult Day

Today was unfortunately another tough day. When we came in there were so many people showing Brodie attention which is never good and it has continued through the entire day. He got his arterial line back and never really could keep his numbers where they needed to be. They fought hard to keeps his numbers up and did a last ditch effort but they had to switch him to the oscillator. This brings back some very bad memories of the beginning. This was the machine that he was on right before they put him on ECMO. They do not know whether this has been caused by an infection or whether it is just because his lungs are damaged. There has been nonstop action and it has taken its toll on us. He has been stuck quite a few times today as well so we are done with the bad stuff and ready to get moving back in the right direction. Yesterday we were holding him and he had very little attached to him and today he is attached to alot and just laying there asleep. We are being tested to the fullest right now but we are leaning on each other and our faith to get us through. This is more than a bump in the road but I know that Brodie will pull through for us. We need more prayers than ever (seems like that has been everyday for the last week)and we appreciate all that are showing us and Brodie so much love.
