Slow and Steady
Another good stable day in the books for Brodie. His oxygen stayed in the 50's again all day and they were able to go down on the ventilator pressures a couple of times. Tomorrow is the last day of his steroids so hopefully he will continue his progress the rest of the week. He is still more alert and keeps his eyes wide open when he is not napping. Unfortunately the baby across from Brodie did not make it and it hit us pretty hard. It all happened just outside Brodie's door and to hear the family crying out was very difficult. This has been one of the hardest aspects of NICU life. It also makes you respect the doctors and nurses and we are thankful for them. They have been wonderful to us and what they do is very difficult. We just pray for a good day tomorrow and thanks to all for everything.

Praying for continued progress without the steroids. Also saying prayers for the family whose little angel is with Jesus.
Oh my, that is such awful news of the sweet little baby across the way. That child is certainly on their way to heaven. We pray for progress with Brodie and hope he continues on his steady days. Thinking of you all.
Praise God for another good day! Keep it up Brodie!! We are praying for continued progress in the right direction for Brodie. Also, we are praying for the family who lost their sweet little angel. LaVona - you are such an amazing woman. I admire you for the strength and love you showed yesterday when you comforted the mother of the baby who lost her life. I am proud and honored to know both you and Todd and to call you friend. You guys are going through so much right now, but your faith never waivers and your love for God continues to show through in your actions and your words. Brodie and Bradie are blessed to have you both as parents. I pray for complete healing for Brodie and that you both will continue to remain strong in such a difficult situation. Love and Hugs to you all! And I love the new pic of Brodie...he looks great!
Oh, thank you God for the great news on Brodie and prayers were lifted up for the famiy that lost their little girl, my heart aches for them. LaVona you are a true example of what selflessness looks like, you and Todd are such inspirations to us all. As for Brodie being removed off of steroids, one thing to remember is that GOD does not need the help of medicine to work his miracles all he needs is two or more people joined together in prayer and the faith of a mustard seed!!! Matthew 18:19-20. As always ALL GLORY BE TO GOD THE ALMIGHTY!
PS, Brodie's new picture is soooo adorable I could cry tears of joy just looking into those innocent eyes. Thank you for sharing.
love the new pic...Brodie you are looking good...love to see those sweet eyes....keep up the good work buddy...we are all pulling for you
Love the new pic of Brodie. Such a beautiful little boy you both have. Prayers continuing for you and also for the family that lost their baby.
