Recovery

Today's surgery went very well and without surprises. He was in and out in a couple of hours. The doctors were nice enough to provide us awith amazing before and after pictures of Brady's air way. We were asked to hold our judgement on the success of the surgery for at least a day, so that the swelling had a chance to go down. We're not getting too excited (yes we are) but he already sounds FANTASTIC! When I say he sounds fantastic, I mean he doesn't sound at all. When I left the hospital, I was in awe of how quite he is sleeping. Jen commented, that now she won't be able to rely on his constant snoring to know that he's OK anymore.

We just want to say thank you to everyone who asked about Brady, who called or texted with concerns, who was thinking or praying about his well being, to Jen's parents for all their support, to the Johnson's and Reilly's for providing us great dinners (and sabotage!), to the friends who stopped by the hospital, to the nurses that have given us extra special treatment, to Kari in HR who made sure we have insurance to pay for all of this, and to the doctors who lived up to their promise to provide care for Brady as if he was their own child. We are sincerely grateful to be part of such a warm and caring community of family and friends.

We are glad to hear that the little guy is recovering and breathing better. Now that you can't hear him snoring you might be interested in a monitor that we bought Tyler when he was having problems breathing, it works great.

I just read your blog, had no idea all of this was happening. What a tough little guy Brady is! It sounds like he has pretty strong parents too. We think about you guys all the time and are so glad to hear he is doing better.

Love, Cory, Jenny and James
