48 hours Post op

Brody is doing good!! Or should I say Better:-) He is being weened off his ventilator and his nitric oxide:-) He is off his dopamine, which helps with his blood pressure, meaning he is sustaining his pressure by himself:-) He is also being decreased off some of his other medications as well:-) He will always be on heart medications but weaning him off the ones he won't be on is definitly a good thing:-) His blood gases have been good so this means he is more stable and Dr. Nigro is closing up his chest today....a GREAT THING!!! We will be 48 hours post op at 3pm today...this is a good thing.Brody is showing imporvement and the Docs say he is moving in a positive direction!!! SO wonderful to hear! Big sister came today and she worked with Child life...they made a doll together with the same tubes and bandages that Brody has....I asked her if she was ready to see him and she said YUP!!! I showed her a picture on my phone first...we went into the room and she was very quiet but was very interested in her little brother, she did fabolous and even gave him a kiss. We are so lucky to have our awesome family:-) Hopefully soon we can all be together cuddled up on the couch at home..instead of at the hospital! Phoenix Childrens hospital has definitly exceeded our expecations! Please whenever you see Phoenix Childrens asking for donations...don't be shy and give what you can..this place is amazing and we owe them more than anyone can ever imagine!!! Thank you again to everyone that has been keeping our Brody boy in their prayers...it is working...and we are more than excited to see our little boy showing improvement...one second at a time!! GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!
