Minor problems

Yesterday Brody had several small problems with various things. We were glad we were here. His feeding tube had trouble going down his throat and we almost couldn't place it. His blood pressures were on the rise. We soon learned that his BP patch had fallen off. Simply replacing it seems to have helped. And he's been quit agitated. More than likely due to gas pressure in his tummy. His heart rate would get really high and he would tighten up and try to hold his breath. Poor kid. There isn't much of a solution for that right now. We just have to wait for his surgery when we "fix" everything. So, as of right now, our plan is to go home tomorrow or Tuesday. I think we are now ok with this and feel like we can handle it on our own. But I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.
Thank you to everyone for your comments, prayers and continued support. You are really helping to keep us going strong.

Sure was fun to see Brody today. He looks much more comfortable than he did last week. It was a treat to finally hold him again, and not have him get angry. Although it is scary we look forward to having Brody and Amie home soon.
