Thank you to everyone for prayers and warm wishes. Its amazing to see how many lives our sweet angel boy has touched....
This morning Brody is still sleeping a lot. If his brain damage is reversible at all, sleep is going to be the best way to help it heal. The MRI results are still pending. It has to be a neuro-radiologist to read it and we hear they were short-handed this weekend. We anticipate results tomorrow. Heart, kidneys, liver, respiratory--they are all improving little by little with each passing day. I truly think having so much family and friends around him has contributed to what bit of recovery we have seen. And never underestimate the power of priesthood blessings.
If there is one think I can plead with all of you, learn as much first aid as you can. Although Brody has medical issues, we never saw this coming. Had it not been for us doing CPR, Brody would be only a memory. Also, its National Donate Life Month. I encourage you to consider signing up to become organ donors. Its said that one donor can save 7 lives. And most importantly, don't take life for granted. Log off now and go hug your kids!!

I'm glad to hear that things are improving even just a little bit. Heavenly Father hears your prayers and everyone else. He'll take care of him. HUGS

Hi, I am the girl that was waiting for the computer yesterday. I noticed you had a blog, so nosey me checked it out. I want you to know I think you are an amazing person. My son is here for open heart surgery and I thought I was picked on! I don't know you, and I my only know a fraction of the heart ache may feel from day to day. But I admire you and your strength. I hope you don't mind me looking. you, your beautiful son, and your family will be in my prayers.

Our Dear Ones, our hearts ache to be with you at this time but I had to have another blood test this morning and even though it has thinned some it is still too thick but if it gets too thin it can also be a big problem so they have to monitor me often and adjust my medicine accordingly. Niles has a doctors appointment wednesday morning and I have to have another blood test on friday so it looks like we're stuck here right now. We love all of you so much and wish there was something we could do to make everything all right for you but we will have to trust in the Lord and know he will comfort us if we will just ask. Our faith and prayers are for you and we send our love. You are such wonderful, unselfish caring parents, how blessed Brody is to have you and your sweet little Kaybri. We love you so very much.
