For the first time we are talking discharge. Brody got his circumcision last week, his immunizations today, and we will be taught CPR this week. We have also been offered to stay a night in the family room before we go home. The family room is a room where we would stay, just the 3 of us, and take care of Brody through the night to see how we handle if he has a spell. But he is not ready yet. We are just heading in the discharge direction. He needs to have at least a 24 hour period where he doesn't have a deep spell. He had one bad spell last night and 4 other less significant ones. Much better than so many the nurse needed another sheet of paper to write them all down. Therefore, staying in the family room may or may not help us depending on whether he has a spell. We could stay 1 night in the family room with no spells and then get him home and he spell on the first night. Plus we still have to accomplish the "Car Seat Challenge". Brody has to sit in his car seat at least the amount of time it takes to get home (plus time for traffic, accidents, etc) without a spell. Babies have been ready to go home then have to stay because they "flunked" the challenge. We are not talking a discharge date just walking towards the day.
Speaking of discharge, Hannah Grace went home today. Her momma, Miranda, and I joked about how we will stay in touch and have an arranged marriage. So when they left Miranda said to take care of Hannah Grace's husband. We will see them next week because Hannah will be back for a follow-up. It was such a joy to see her little legs kicking today. I think her surgery will be 100% successful.
Baby Trevor is still fighting hard. Please keep praying hard. His mommy and daddy are just the sweetest people ever and it is so disheartening to see them so sad and troubled.
Why when it rains it pours? Right after Brody was born Brent's lap top died at the office. So he had to buy a new one. Then a couple of weeks ago my mobile phone died. So he had to buy a new one. Then over the weekend our desktop died at the house. UGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! Fortunately, Brent's IT guy bought a second hand motherboard and fixed his broken-down laptop. That is what I am using at the house now. But unfortunately ALL my pics were saved on my desktop. So now we need to get the desktop to the IT guy in Roanoke to see if we can recover my "stuff". I have yet to re-load my pics onto the laptop (it sounds like a big job to me). So no pictures for your viewing pleasure today. Sorry :(

Brody's Technically Challenged Mommy
(oh wait Brody's Daddy just came home and got one added to the hard drive for your viewing pleasure isn't he soooo adorable?! Brody that is :>)
Again Night night.

Cant wait see u all at home together !!
I love you all. He looks sooo peaceful and even a little chunky today. Who would have thought! May God strengthen each little fiber in his lungs and breath deeply for the little man. May he bless you as you bless those other families with your love of each other and your love of Christ. All my prayers at this crazy hour of the morning ---- J
don't worry about all your pictures, when our laptop was "ruined" ahem....a glass of water poured on it....the Best Buy guys took all my pictures off of the hard drive and put them onto a CD for me to save on our new computer!
We are praying for Brody to be ready for his next obstacles! He will do it!
Just wanted to say that as much as we love you and would LOVE to see Mr Brody, we're waiting until spring...It's flu season and we aren't sharing our germs! Please keep us updated with pics! LOVE YOU GUYS!
