Brodie had a much much better night! He actually rested a little. They come in every 2 hours and position him and take vitals etc etc...He was very irritated by them entering the room and any movement just as he has been but at his 6:00am visit this morning we could not wake him. He was very much out of it. He really has been ever sense. Not sure if he is just so exausted from everything or what is going on with him. They are watching him close. His vitals are good. His heart rate is now way down almost too low at times and respirations have to be watched but overall he seems to be sooooo much better. Today we have to just keep him down. The head of his bed can be elevated 30 degrees today. They have now stopped his pain pump but he is still getting valium by IV and fluids. We are trying to get him to drink something or eat a cracker but so far not much luck. Thanks so much for praying for him and we ask that you continue because that is what has got us this far. I am able to keep you posted when I come to take a shower so it maybe in the morning before I get back. Talk to you then.
He had a much better afternoon.
The night was not so great. He vomited all of the bed and it took forever to get him cleaned up because you can't just move him he has to be log rolled and all this stuff. Anyway after that fell asleep and got a power nap for about 30 minutes and then I was up until 2:15 or so. Then I was not in a good sleep.

You really never know what someone goes through like this until a person like you shares it. Thank you for keeping us updated as best as you can. I am sorry that it has taken Brodie a while to get in the swing of things. I know it has to be frustrating too that his vitals, etc are checked every 2 hrs prohibiting him from sleeping/getting rest. We are still praying for you guys. Love, Casey
THANKS FOR THE UPDATES!! I'M GLAD THINGS ARE GOING BETTER. I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR ALL OF YOU!
LOVE YA,
