Quick Procedure

Brody had his VEPTR surgery this morning to expand his chest. It went really well and turned out to be a really quick procedure. We had anticipated 90 minutes but it took less than 45. His chest is noticeably bigger now. Also, we are hoping to have a repeat ultrasound of his arm and maybe his chest today to see if we can't figure out why his elbow appears to be injured. Other than that, it should be a pretty slow day. We are keeping him extra sedated to help keep the pain at bay. We'll see how things are going tomorrow and I'll post any updates then. Thanks to everyone for all the prayers!!

Well we're thankful for a slow day and some sedation. There are enough busy painful days that we need to appreciate the slow ones. Good for Brody, and you too Amie Kai.
