Big Day of Planning

We will be meeting with several groups of people today to determine when exactly we'll be going home and make necessary arrangements. Brody has been pretty peaceful. Two days ago we found out that the staph that had been on his hardware last fall is still there after all. The Orthopedic Surgeon had wanted to take him back to surgery to irrigate the area and clear out the infection. However, going to surgery requires him to have IV fluid that Brody may not be able to flush off due to his kidney failure. We will meet with the surgeon this morning to discuss whether or not it is really in Brody's best interest to go to OR today. That will be the deciding factor on whether or not we will be home tonight. We have lots of things to get in order today. We will try to update this later today... Also, a huge thank you to everyone who helped out with blankets and books for the Ian Pearson Project. His parents will be arriving today to donate those items and I know it means a lot to them. It means a lot to us.
