Successful Trach Surgery
Brodie's trach surgery went great. They said there were no issues and he looks good. It is so crazy to be able to see his entire face. He is very sedated and is paralyzed so that is a little difficult for us right now. I don't know how we were able to watch him lay there paralyzed for as long as he did. That just goes to show you that we can do anything if we are put in the situation. I really wasn't nervous about the surgery until just minutes before they came to get him. Then if hit me that he was going to have surgery and I wasn't sure what it would do to him. We watched a trach video yesterday which was slightly unsettling for me. When I saw the video I was ready to back out and not get the trach done. I sucked it up and realized that when it is your child these things don't seem as bad. When I first saw him the trach did not bother me at all. Let's see how I do when I have to change the tube out for the first time. The next week will be pretty much unchanged and he will stay paralyzed. Next week they will either wean the flolan or the nitric so the excitement will be back. Thanks for all the kind words and the prayers for his surgery.

our prayers are working...keep up the good work Brodie...we are all pulling for you & your family
Hallelujah!!!! I'm so happy that the surgery went well. I thought of Brodie today, as a lady on The Doctors on tv had a trach. Prayers are always with Brodie and God is there by his side. I'm sure it is a little nerve racking when the time comes for you to handle the tube. But, like I said before, you never know how strong you are until you have to be. You are all great parents. If you need anything, please let us know! Even if it is just coffee or a hello. Take care and congratulations on this successful surgery for Brodie. Looking at his pictures again, I didn't realize he is looking so old! Crazy to think he is almost 3 months. Wow. We will continue to pray. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the cool weather coming our way.
Oh, I'm so thanking G-d for this heading for your comments! Thank you LORD for hearing our prayers. I look forward to see an untaped face--praying that the week flies by for you guys so Brodie can get unparalyzed and feel his family loving on him. Praying when it is times to deal with the tube I pray you will feel G-d leading you. Psalm 92:4 You make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of your hands. xxoo Fran
Praise God for a successful surgery! I will continue to pray for complete healing of Brodie and that he will come out of sedation and paralysis with no issuses. God is good and I know that he will continue to bless Brodie and your family. I hope you and Lavona will be able to get some much needed rest now that he made it through the surgery. Take care and let me know if there is anything I can do. Love and Hugs--Berna
