Update on Braeton !

Here is the latest update from an email I got form my sister Sara about Braeton.


Hi,
We are taking a break in the Ronald McDonald Room here at Childrens and thought we'd give an update.Well today was the day Braeton was supposed to arrive (via c-section) but once again our little guy just couldnt miss x-mas!! This a.m. Braeton went back to surgery to remove the pins that helped bring his jaw forward and open up his airway...it was a sucess! However,he was so sedated that the ENT dr felt it was best to leave the Trach in for one more day.OUr next obstacle is getting Braeton to eat and poop.They dont think he has a blockage -just slow motility,Dr's to want to take another look at his heart to make sure the CO-ARC is still opening and that there will be no need for surgery on that. He may also need a few other surgeries down the road,but hope and pray he will be coming home with us shortly!! We knoe his big Angel brother,Alex is with us and watching over his little fisty brother ;-).Yes, A few nights ago little 3wk old Braeton had his first additude w/Mommy and smacked the binky out of my hand and gave Mommy the maddest look-all I could do was smile...he certainly has his big brothers personality!! Please keep updated via the blog as I may be too busy and my sis is doing a great job at it!!! Thanks to all for your prayers and support.Will try to check email when I can.

P.S. Paul-please keep playing "Upside Down" for Alex...and Braeton,THANK YOU!!!!
