Brody is being given multiple sedatives and its not really helping his "storms". His moments of peace are almost non-existent tonight. My heart aches.
Tonight I was approached by a doctor with some very serious thoughts. She wanted us to know that it is our right to end his life and also our right to keep fighting. We logically discussed that he has several severe and immediately life threatening conditions. She said that we need to know that its alright for us to choose to cancel upcoming surgeries and clinic appointments and make the most of what little time we have left. She was not pushy in any way and I was not offended by what she had to say. She was very thoughtful....
I am terrified that sooner or later Joss and I are ultimately going to have to decide whether we let Brody live or die. The worst decision any parent should ever have to make. Do we allow him to suffer day in and day out or do we watch him die and do nothing? Is there really a right answer?

With all the odds stacked against him, Brody has fought and lived every day of his life as an example for us. There is no way we can do anything less than continue our fight for him in whatever way we can. Joss and Amie, you are in our prayers every day just as much as Brody is and will continue to be. Stay strong, keep the faith, and know that God is in charge, of not only Brody's destiny, but for all of us. And whether we understand it or not, He knows what is best for each of us. Right now, Brody and God are the only ones who can decide when enough is enough. And until then, we just need to continue the fight to the best of our ability.
