Getting the Boot?

Shortly after my last post, I returned to Brody's bedside and was informed that he was going home tomorrow. Brody still has multiple health concerns that have not been fully addressed. Also, we were anticipating to meet with surgeons early next week to discuss the various GI procedures we need to consider. I told the PICU team that he just isn't ready and doesn't have the necessary equipment. They told me they would "make it work". Joss arrived today and was made it clear that we don't feel Brody is ready and we are NOT going home under these conditions. His emotions took over and he started saying things like, he's already held his sons lifeless body once and he'll be damned if he'll do it again just to clear up a bed space. They quickly backed off and said we'd wait until we met with the surgeons and go from there. Through it all, Joss was good not to raise his voice and handled himself pretty well. He soon apologized for letting letting loose, but at least he got our point across and got them to listen. :)

I'm glad you guys stood your ground with the doctors. Sometimes they act like we don't know anything. I continue to keep you in my prayers.
