Brodie Loses His Lunch on Daddy

Yesterday was a good day but they went up on his feeds and it did not sit well with him. I got to hold him and he threw up on me. I wish I could say that it was a wonderful experience but I have to say I was disgusted. Bradie "spit up" on me but this was a new experience. I felt like when we were leaving that the whole elevator was looking around wondering where that awful smell was coming from. Now that I ruined everyone's lunch we did have some news yesterday. The team has decided that Brodie would benefit from a tracheostomy or trach. Although this is not what we wanted to hear we now think it is best for him. The breathing tube is really starting to bother him and they have to restrain his arms so that he will not pull his tube out. If he gets the trach he will move around better, breastfeed and get the tube out of his throat. No parent wants their child to have to get a hole in their throat to breath but if he can start to be more developmentally appropriate then we are ok with it. He is stable right no but there are risks with this surgery. They are going to make sure that the echo does not get worse on Monday and then they might do the surgery middle of next week. This is just another hurdle and hopefully things will go great. His oxygen has been in the 30's for a couple of days now and he looks better every day. Thanks for the prayers and we will keep you posted on when they will do the trach.
