Brodie has been up to his old tricks. We came in this morning and he was on 80% oxygen and they said that he had an episode last night at 2 in the morning. During rounds this morning they said that they wanted to get his oxygen below 50% and then start going down on the pressures of the oscillator. We hope that he can get down on his oxygen because he needs to start showing some progress. He has come a long way from his darkest hours but he needs to get off of the high oxygen levels and presuures. Just as I am typing this post he has had another episode but the good news is that he actually recovered a little quicker from this one. All we want is to get him onto the ventilator so that we can hold him again. He is doing well with his feeds and they are going to do another echo in the morning. Hopefully it will show that he has made some progress on his pulmonary hypertension. We had a great time yesterday at the game and it was good to get away for a couple of hours. Bradie bought Brodie a little Texans bear and was so excited to give it to him. He told all the nurses that he got it for him and told them that he was yelling "Go Texans". Above is a picture that a lady took of him at the game and emailed to us this morning. He loved his little flag that they gave out and waved it most of the game. We need prayers for a little progress and for his echo to look good tomorrow. Thanks for all your continued support and sorry that we can't get back with each of you but just know that each encouraging word or story help us make it through the days.

Prayers for progress for your precious Brodie and prayers of strength for Mom and Dad. Glad you were able to get away enjoy the game with Bradie yesterday and the bonus was a great game "Go Texans".
I pray that Brodie will see brighter and stronger days. I pray for you all as well. I'm glad that you all got to go to the game. I remember being at the Texans game with you all and meeting your cute little Bradie! Can't wait to meet Brodie as well. We are thinking of you all.
I remember the first time they took my daughter off the oscillator, put her on the vent, got to hold her, next day got pnemonia, back on the oscillator. It took her 52days to get off of the oscillator. We used to tell her she's getting her shot of mt. Dew when she got caffiene to stimulate her lungs amongst other drugs. I look back on my day to day book of memories and it is nearly shadowing Brodies story and your story. All of the ups and downs, good days and bad and steps forward in Brodies little life. Remember, no progress is ALOT better than a step backwards.
Love and light
