Brody Update

Brody got out of surgery at about 10:30 this morning. We met with the surgeon, Dr. Honeycutt first thing this morning and felt very comfortable with him, he even prayed over Brody before things got started :) Everything went fairly well, they were able to drain 30ccs of fluid from Brody's brain and didn't have to shave any of his pretty blonde hair... YAY! The doctor said the only thing the he was concerned about was a milky fluid like substance found in Brody's abdomen he had never seen before. Another surgeon took a look and said it was called "kyle...kial...kile...?" (sorry we don't know anything about it yet or how to spell it) and said the body should absorb it. Brody is currently back on the vent until he wakes up and can breathe on his own. If all goes as planned he should be transported back to Plano on Friday. Korbin and the girls are doing great and are all breathing room air with no assistance from the nasal cannula!

Thanks so so much for all of the prayers and support!

  2. Good news! YAY! Maybe the fluid was "bile"? I ran into Bret's mom in the cafeteria at work and she gave me a quick update. Sounds like you had a great surgeon & beautiful little Brody will be back with brother & sisters soon!

  3. Thank you so much for the update. We've been praying for all the kiddos, but Brody especially, we even got up 30 minutes before his surgery to pray over him and his doctors, nurses, and everybody that had a helping hand in his surgery and hospital visit. I'm so glad everything went well, praise God! We'll continue to pray and call the prayer pager. God is so good!
