Yesterday was a great day (and not just because it was my birthday). Even though Brody still has to get heart surgury he is well enough to not have to be in the PICU....The nurses weren't happy as they loved him. Brody had so much mojo with them that everytime we went down there he was missing as someone was giving him cuddles. We have been told by many doctors and nurses that they VERY rarely see this happen that a child from the PICU gets released back to the normal Mommy Baby Ward so again beating all the odds....
Brody spent the night last night with me in my room and lucky me his nights and days are all mixed up. So finally at about 7am we got a good 3 hour sleep in....I totally forgot about that stuff but hey it is all worth it in the end. He is also starting to eat like a little piggy which is good as he has gained weight here and they are very happy to see that as most babies in his condition do not have an easy time feeding but let me tell you he has no issues.
It has been a very emotional day for me as I believewe will be released tomorrow to go home. It scares me to think that I could miss some sign and something could go terribly wrong. But I have to remember that the doctors would NEVER put is health in jeporady, and there is no way they would have let him come up to the ward if he was not healthy enough to do so. So here is to keeping it day by day and making our lives as normal as we can.
We are especially missing our other little man Caine. I wish we could have taken him with us just for entertainment value. I know he is loving being with Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Kenny and Auntie Chantal took him to Chucky Cheese last night so he is getting spoiled rotten.
Once we have answers tomorrow on the MRI and plans of release we will let everyone know....
