Brody is back on his home ventilator and doing well. Today we are anticipating several consults from different specialties. Rehab and Physical Therapy will help us to know what things we can do to maximize his recovery. GI will assess and give us options for long term feeding. More than likely a "G Tube" which will go directly through the abdominal wall and into the stomach. The ICU is trying to get us set to go home soon, but GI said they may recommend a scope to check for any acid reflux before he leaves and he'll have to be off of certain meds for 72 hours prior to that. So we may still be a few days out but we're heading in the right direction. And I'm very pleased to see how comfortable he has seemed. He really looks quite peaceful.
Interesting Factoid: Its said that the survival rate for a full arrest is about 9%. Talk about defying all odds! What a trooper!
On the home front, Joss has been busy between work and getting our home moved from one place to another. He's had lots of help from the community and our family. We're so thankful to have them :) And Kaybri has been good to try to help Joss move the heavy furniture and has already picked out the room she wants. She's such a sweetie.
