Offering no explanation

I know some of you are anxiously awaiting MRI results. So are we. Still no news. No significant changes in Brody either. Its quite apparent that there is some degree of brain damage. The question is how much and whether its reversible or permanent. Only time will tell. And still no answer to what may have triggered all this. Its doubtful we'll get an answer at all. Many theories but nothing concrete. So, as frustrating as it is, we'll just continue to wait.

No news

Brody has now had both the EKG and the MRI. But they said we would have to wait until the radiologists looked at it and typed a report. We were hoping to get news tonight. It may not be until morning. He is still quite out of it. So, as much as I'd like to be posting any kind of update right now, I just don't have any news.

Uncertain

Brody's body movements seem slightly more deliberate today although his movements are slower and fewer. However, he is sleeping more. When he does open his eyes, he just has this absent stare and won't blink for long periods of time. Despite yesterdays hopes, it seems his neurological state is diminishing. We are anticipating an MRI at some point today as we reach that crucial 72 hour mark. His kidney function is not improving but is not worsening much. They will also be doing an EKG today to determine the function of the left ventricle of his heart. He has always had a very slight murmur but it has become more apparent since the resuscitation. And his liver has been enlarged which correlates with his questionable heart problems. Brody has always been such a little fighter. He's already held on years longer than anyone expected. Hopes and Prayers.... A huge thank you to all our friends and family for their love and support.

Wait and wait some more

His happy movements are questionable. One moment they look like just that--happy movements. Other times it seems involuntary and maybe painful. Its really hard to say. He is very slowly becoming more aware of his surroundings. But we are only about 48 hours out. They don't want to assume anything until after we've reached that 72 hour mark. As for his kidneys, they seem to be struggling the most which is to be expected since he was already rapidly approaching end stage renal failure. However, at this point they just want to watch his kidney function and not start dialysis just yet. For now, we just wait.

My mom just found me as I was posting the last blog. Brody is awake and smiling and doing his usual stimming. It seems for a brief moment that things are looking up. But I have to run cuz I wouldn't miss it for the world!!!
