Today Was a Good Day

Today was a good day and it is exactly what we needed at this point.  It is impossible to say how great it felt to finally hold him.  We have been staring at Brodie for two weeks now and all we have wanted to do is to pick him up, hold him and tell him that everything was going to be ok.  He did not wake up but it felt more real than ever.  I will add some pictures of each of us holding him.  When we hold him we forget that he is sick and just squeeze him tight.  Tonight unfortunately we feel the same way we did the night before he was born.  The MRI will show how much damage has been done to his brain.  We are very scared but are prepared for whatever comes our way.  From the minute we found out about his CDH all we cared about was bringing him home.  We will let you know when we find out the results.  The good news is a newborns brain can do amazing things to overcome any deficiencies there may be.  Tomorrow is going to be great and thanks for the prayers for our little guy.
