Brody is still making progress today. The ventilator was turned down again, with the plan of allowing Brody to take some breaths on his own. This is a slow process because he has been intubated for so long he is not used to it. It is huge exercise for him to take a breath right now. He started running a fever late yesterday, somewhat of a concern. So far, it is controlled by Tylenol and ice packs. His urinalysis tested negative for infection, so hopefully it is nothing and it will go away soon. He is very awake today. They increased his morphine so he can hopefully sleep his fever away.

  1. Thanks for the updates on Brody's status. I don't know how you do it - you are a strong person. I've got three "Prayer Goddesses" (two Gma's and an Aunt) who don't know you, Russ or Brody, but have added Brody to the front of the line on their prayer list. We will continue to pray for you all.
