Can you believe it Brody is weighing in at 7lbs 7oz. He looks so much bigger in the last 4 days. His spell have gotten less and not quite as deep. All this means the exit for Monday is looking better and better. Deedee and I are ready, and his room is ready, His little "fur sister Maddy" is ready. Let us all pray that God in his infinite wisdom declares that Brody is ready to come home. Thanks for all the prayers and support.
This is Brody's fur sister Doesn't she look like she's waiting on her little brother. She has been walking around the house looking for him ever since Deedee came home from delivery. She is always sniffing his laundry bag as if we have him hidden in there. Seriously she never left Deedee's side when she was expecting and Maddy has been wondering "Where is that extra heart beat?" ever since. She will most likely be the best apnea monitor for Brody. At least that is what we are hoping. ---Brent
I agree with Brent, Maddy will probably watch Brody and be the most reliable monitor we have. Today I have been thinking about how Satan has tried to attack us while God has carried us through this uncertain time. Some small things and some not so small; Brent's lap top crashing at the office - which he replaced with a new one, my desk top at home crashing - which miraculously has nothing wrong with it after it arrived to our IT guy in Roanoke, cool huh? and the refurbished old lap top returned in time for me to use while mine went across state lines, my cellphone completely dieing, one night while holding Brody Brent saw a spot on my ear which I had our Dr. Kovach slice off (the spot not my ear, lol) - he said he was scared with our family history that it was melanoma but guess what - not, when we had the big snow last week my Mountaineer wouldn't start - easy fix new starter (after a frustrating new battery), then our sweet Maddy hurt her back playing in the field and is on steroids and has to go next week for x-rays. All of these things have been frustrating and most of them were not too costly or troublesome to fix but why did all of this have to occur in this 12 week time frame? Because Satan is our enemy and he wants to see us crack, he wants one more thing to push us over the edge so we pull away from God. I often include in my prayers that neither Brent or I fall away from Christ. The minute we deny it could happen to us is the time that we fall away. I pray that God heal Maddy quickly so she can enjoy her new baby Bro when he comes home. And I pray that God continue to bless us, protect us, and heal us, and that we never never fall away from Him. ~~~Deedee

I LOVE MADDY
I was reading an article in the paper last week about a dog who let the mother know the baby wasn't breathing and many times after that never left the baby's side and always let them know when something was wrong. I know Maddy will do her job and be a good watch dog for her new master.
When I read this story, I thought of Maddy and Brody. I hope Monday is the day! He is growing up so much. We love him so much already.
He is a cutie. Great picture of him and Brent.
love ya
DeeDee and Joe
DeeDee, ANdrew and I saw Brnt the other night when he came to check our our little Adyson...he said Today might be the big day...I was checking on Brody's blog o see what the verdict was and when I rea your post about how all those things went wrong coincidentally in those 12 weeks...i saw myself in that situation...a week ago on our way to morgantown to be with the baby my tahoe broke down for no reason...we left our house for the 1.5 hour drive to the hospital at 9am and I got to her bedside after the 3pm break...we had to have it towed and although it is under warranty we are in abattle witht he dealership and warranty company to get it fixed and back to me so I can keep getting to motown with our little angel...i too pray along with all of my prayers and thanksgivings to God for Adyson that he keep us close to Him and not let us fall away...and when you said that those things happening were another way for Satan to tear ou away it clicked in my head...hello he is still as prevalent as ever and relentless and he is trying to separate us from God...so i took myself a deep breath and prayed a prayer for my family and for yours...God will continue to handle things just like he has been and my job is to believe and serve Him...so thank you for the small bit of insight...I came across it al the perfect time...Andrew and I too are members of our Church of Christ....i was raised in that church and he was baptised a few months before our wedding...we were married there also and plan to raise our little Adyson in that church...such wonderful people everywhere and I thank God that we were able to come in contact with you and Brent...we needed the little boost of help and faith after losing our precious Isabella and that is indeed what we got...sorry so long-winded, just wanted to share that with you...God Bless and continued prayers for your precious family...Andrew, Sheena and Adyson
