Brody is back in his room in the PICU. He is super sedated and not feeling a thing. They removed the ECMO prior to surgery and so far he is doing okay without it. The cannula is still in, just in case he needs to be hooked up again. Tonight, he will likely have some swelling which they will monitor closely. On rare occasions they need to go back in and relieve pressure but it is rare and they hope it won't be Brody's case. He will continue to have bloody stools for a few days while all the residual blood comes out. At least we will know that it is not new blood and we will be expecting to see it. I've seen enough blood coming out of my child today to last a lifetime.
