Recovery Mode


Brody was wide awake when we got there this morning. He was kicking his legs and had his eyes open for about an hour while we were talking to him. All the staff at children's hospital are amazed at his progress, and keep stopping by to check on him. They are moving him from the PICU (pediatric intensive care unit) back to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive care unit) tomorrow! They feel he is stable enough to be monitored over there. He is resting comfortably now with his husker hat on (thanks papa Dean and Grandma Sue). Now is time for the little man to recover and heal from all the surgeries he has went through. They think within the next week he should be ready to come of the vent. He is truly a miracle:)

  8. Hey Kendal...this is Becky Hamblin..Manda just told me what has been going on with your sweet little baby. I am so glad to see and read that he is doing much better. I would say you had one miracle after another...I am so happy that all is going well. Our family had a NICU ECMO baby...my nephew,Noah. He is now 9 years old and keeping up with all his bros and sis and cousins! He was on ECMO for 10 days! Modern medicine is amazing and throw in few miracles on top and anything is possible. Just wanted to say that you guys will be in my thoughts and prayers. Brody is absolutely beautiful and I will pray for his continuing recovery as well as for you and Doug and Bryce!
