Brodie, We Are Proud of You
I am going to preface this post by saying that Brodie is still very sick and is far from out o f the woods. However, HE HAD A GREAT NIGHT LAST NIGHT! When we got back to the hospital from putting Bradie to bed he was between 95 and 99 and was doing well. We felt good about things and went to our room at the Ronald McDonald house and got some much needed sleep. LaVona had to wake up in the middle of the night to pump so we went and check on him again. He was at 100% oxygen saturation and they had started to wean the oxygen on the oscillator and brought him down to 89%. We then woke up around 9 and went down to catch rounds and he was on 82% oxygen on the oscillator and they had decreased the pressure again by one. It is great to see the faces of some of the people that have had him the last 3-5 days when they come by to check on him. They are amazed by his progress. Not sure yet what they are going to do yet today because they have not rounded on him yet because they round on the sickest babies first. We do know that this can go the other way quickly but have to hold on to the good moments. We believe that All of the prayers have gotten us this far so please keep prayer for our precious boy. Thanks for all of the support and we just pray that things continue in a positive direction.

Love and Light,

thanking G-d for a respite that Brody was not one of the sickest babies this morning, as he was last night. It is good our G-d is fresh each moment we come to Him--waiting to provide what we need. Praise be to the Lord, to G-d our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. Psalm 68:19 Continuing to pray for all of you--asking for refreshment for you and LaVona when it is time to rest, joy and laughter when you have Brady and strength and trust in Him when it comes to Brodie. Awaiting your next news xxoo Fran
That is excellent news!!!! Do not let yourself be cautious to rejoice in good news because of his state. Even though, as you said, it can change any minute, you must rejoice in this positive and take it for what it is. Brodie is putting up such a fight. I know you are both so proud of your little boy. Will be checking in on you all! Prayers coming your way.
Praise God!!! We are so HAPPY to such good news!
Love and PRAYERS,
Anthony & Tammie
Every night when I put Avery (my 10 mo. Old) to sleep we say our prayers and then we sing. I always sing "Away in a manger" which was actually written as a lullaby by Martin Luther. Lately I have been singing for both Avery and Brodie.
"...I love thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky, and stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay, close by me forever and love me I pray, bless ALL the dear children in thy tender care, and take us to heaven to live with thee there".
Of course I hope heaven comes later on in their lives for selfish reasons... How comforting it is to know that we are all in our Savior's hands.
