Hold Me

The day has finally come. We came to the hospital and were met with good news. He did not have any seizures from 3 pm yesterday to 8 am today. They took him off of the EEG machine and took out the arterial line in his belly button. He is also on one oxygen saturation monitor. What this all means for us is......We finally get to hold Brodie. When the nurse gets back from lunch we get to hold him in our arms for the first time. This was a nice and very unexpected surprise. On the walk in LaVona asked me what I thought when I walked by the parents in the nicu holding their babies. She said she was happy for them but very jealous that we could not do the same. We are now in the hold your baby club and jealous no more. His numbers look good but there is one very dark cloud still hanging over our heads. He will go in for his MRI tomorrow morning at 6:30. This could give us a fairly good idea of how much damage has been done to the brain. You can imagine the anxiety we feel. We will shelf that for now cause we are going to be able to wrap him in our arms. Please pray for him and his appt tomorrow. We have made it this far and we truly believe it is because of all the prayers for Brodie.
