Brodie on the Floor
Today we came into the hospital and Brodie was on the floor in a boppy. This is so crazy how far he has come in a short period of time. He has been doing great the past couple of days. His oxygen has been in the 30's and today it was 33% for a little while. Yesterday physical therapy came by and worked with him and he is going to be doing it 3 times a week. He just looks so good and he is not having the crazy up and downs that much anymore. Yesterday he had his BNP and echo. His BNP was 52 which is fantastic because anything below 100 is NORMAL. We have not talked to the pulmonary team but in rounds they said that the echo was relatively unchanged. This was a little bit of a disappointment because we assumed it would have improved. He might get a swing this week and start getting out of bed more. We are so happy with the progress he has made and we are so proud of him. He still has a tough road ahead and a few hurdles to get over but we can still hold on to the fact that he is exponentially better than he was before. Thanks to all of you for your kind words and donations. We are now only $432 from our goal. We are so blessed to have wonderful people in our lives and also to have met some wonderful people through this journey. Hope everyone enjoys the cooler weather and we will continue to let you know how Brodie is doing.
