Settling In

Things have been pretty uneventful this last week and we are starting to settle in.  We even took Brodie to the mall today just to get out of the house.  We can't take him inside but we could walk around the stores in the outside part.  We are starting to get regular nurses and have most days and nights covered.  Tonight as I was strolling him around all I could think about is how difficult life would be if he would not have made it.  Life is by no means easy right now but I couldn't imagine not having Brodie in our lives.  I would not change a thing that we have gone through because I know that he is special.  He is starting to show his personality and he smiles at us more and more each day.  He has started to take some rice cereal so we are encouraged by that but it is a small amount.  Our newspaper article came out this week and we must be experiencing slow news days because we were on the front page.  Hopefully some people will read it and become aware of CDH.  The link to the story is

We look forward to the days ahead and can't wait to see Brodie's progress.  Tomorrow we are going to try getting on a schedule so we will see how that goes.  The days go by and we can never get the things done that we need to do so hopefully a schedule will work.  Thanks for all the continued prayers and support.
