Day 4 Evening

Today was a good day but we are officially exhausted.  There is not much that happened after the surgery.  He has pretty much stayed the same which is good but we need him to start showing more progress.  We also learned that he will have to have surgery later in life as he outgrows his diaphragm repair.  Obviously all we care about is that there is a later in life.  We left the hospital around 5:30 which you can imagine was very difficult.  We just needed to go see Bradie and relax a little bit since we know that the next few days are going to be long difficult ones.  He is still sedated from the surgery so we thought tonight might be a good night.  We were able to see Bradie however the relax thing is impossible.  We are receiving the comments that everyone is making and we can't tell you how much that each one means to us.  It truly helps us to know that people are thinking of us and Brodie is already loved by so many.  We knew that God put this in our lives so that we could see all of the wonderful things that would happen through Brodie and sure enough it has blown away our expectations.  He is four days old and he has already been loved enough for a lifetime.  Someday we will show him this blog and I know he will be blown away at how many people prayed for and loved him.  Hope everyone has a great evening and just know that tomorrow is going to be a great day.
