Home from the Hospital

We finally made it home from the hospital late Sunday night. We couldn't be more happy to be home. Brodie has been doing so well since we have been home. He hasn't been throwing up which makes things much easier on all of us. He had a swallow study on Tuesday and he handled everything except for straight liquids. Our neuro appt was ok but we never know what to think when we leave those appts. He did tell us that he would have deficits but I am not even going to say what they are because none of it is for sure in our eyes. The neurologists are not the ones that decide his outcome they just predict it. God will develop him for His plan and we are comforted knowing that it will be the best life for him. So for now we leave it in His hands and pray for the best for Brodie. We took Brodie out to dinner for for the first time since it was nice and we could sit outside. We had a great time and think it was good for both the boys to get out. Funny story while at dinner (not really funny but if you know us it is our typical luck). We had on two tables around us so we felt like we were away from the masses. The guy on one side of us lit up a cigarette and started smoking about six feet from Brodie's oxygen and the other couple got cold in almost 80 degree weather so they had the waiter turn on the giant propane heater that was about 10 feet from Brodie. In the entire outside area there was no one else smoking and no other crazy people that need heat when it is warm out. It is comical now since we did not blow up but what are the odds. Brodie has been doing great in physical therapy and occupation therapy starts on Monday. They have cut our nursing hours so we only have nurses 3 days a week and every night from 10-7. We are starting to get more rest but still pretty exhausted. We are just thankful every day that we have him with us and don't take a minute with him for granted. Also, he has his two bottom teeth coming in and one of them is starting to poke through.We will miss that gummy grin when they come in.  Hope that everyone has a great Friday and weekend.  Thanks so much for all of your support and prayers.
