Brodie Gets Off the Nitric
In my last post I said that the next few days were going to be unchanged. That was not what we experienced yesterday. When we got to the hospital our neonatal doctor and pulmonologist got into a rather heated debate about whether to wean his nitric or the flolan. After much discussion they decided to wean the nitric. They did it rather aggressively and were done by 6:30. He did not have any issues until they took him completely off. This was expected and he was actually back down to the same oxygen that he was on before they started to wean him. Today they will probably try to wean the flolan. This will be a lot scarier and it will make things a whole lot easier if we could get him off of this. We are hopeful that he no longer needs this but still worried about them weaning it. The next few days should be an adventure and we will probably revert back to monitor watching. Brodie has come so far and if you would have told me a month ago that we would be weaning the flolan today I would have told you that you were crazy. We would not be here without each of your prayers and support. Have a great day and we will keep you posted.

PRAISE THE LORD for more steps in the right direction. Praying the weaning off the flovan is as uneventful as the nitric. I thank God for the miracles He has already performed for Brodie and pray for continued miracles. Brodie and Bradie are blessed to have you and LaVona for parents, just as you are blessed to have such precious sons. Isn't it great we have a God that knows more than we do. May God bless you with an uneventful weekend.
What great news that he is still progressing so much! I know these next steps are scary but, like you said, all of these prayers are joining Brodie's strength and he is doing phenomenal. God answers prayers. You have such a strong boy. You must both be so proud! I hope you are able to step outside some and enjoy this beautiful weather. You know, looking at Brodie's state from now and where he was, he has come SO FAR. What an amazing story. One day, you'll be able to tell Brodie what a fighter he was. And, he will be in the hearts of so many. We are praying for you all! Enjoy your weekend.
way to go Brodie ..keep up the good work buddy..we are all pulling for you with God leading the pack
Wow! What a huge step--and the steps are continuing on the path the LORD has predetermined for the entire family--praying the medical staff hear the leading of the LORD since He has determined this is the medical staff for Brodie. Looking forward to the next update.
Continuing to give thanks to our
G-d, bigger than all circumstances-Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

Blessed Sunday to the Brodie Dick Family--know that we will be praying for all of you in church this morning. Holding onto Brodie's recovery with this promise:

Looking to the revealation of
G-d's purpose.
