DAY FIVE...AT LEAST I THINK IT IS

I can't believe it has been 5 days since Brody's surgery.  The time just kind of balls up into one big day when you are in here.   You never really realize the time or even understand the dates while you are here... wierd feeling.

Brody is doing very good today he is just really tired.  Hospitals are definately not the place to get rest.  Last night they didn't bother him as much so he got pockets of sleep but still a bit unsettled.  This morning they removed his final tube...and this upset Brody alot but he is much happier how as there is nothing left to cause him any discomfort. They only have little stickers on him which are monitoring his heartrate and breaths per min.  What a long way he has come in a VERY short period of time.  He is such a strong little guy. 

Last night he was actually watching the Rider game and talking to the TV like they sucked (which they did).  He is smiling and kicking and playing today almost back to his old self.  We should be out tomorrow if all looks good with his chest xray tomorrow.  Then we hang out here until our appointment on Thursday morning and then we are heading out Thursday night.  We can 't wait to get home to our life.

Caine and my Mom are coming to Vancouver tomorrow so it will be great to see the little man and hang out as a family.  We miss Caine greatly.  Leaving him was almost as painful as letting go of Brody for surgery.  I now see what they mean by kids are your life :)  We love our boys to pieces and would have it no other way.

I thought I would share a picture of Brody today vs 5 days ago.  I hope this brings a smile to everyone's face like it does to ours.

Hopefully our post tomorrow will be that we are being released....
