    Brian gets a room makeover!! (LONG)

    Hey guys and gals, it's been awhile since I've updated on how things are going. I'm up early this morning, 3:30am, because Brian's trach clogged and we had to change it and we couldn't go back to sleep. Brian is doing great, he sleeps better than ever (no snoring) and is eating like he just...

    Forgot my password! But figured it out.

    Thanks for posting my e-mail Mike. Since we got home it has been hectic just with visitors, phone calls, catching up with the run of the mill maintenance around the house. We had a severe storm warning last night and I was worried about a power outage because we have to occasionally suction...

    Update on Brian...

    Thanks for asking PJ and thanks to Pete for passing along the update. Brian is doing great!! He is eating like he just discovered food and his spirits are really high. We got word late this afternoon that the special order trach was shipped today, overnight delivery, and if that is true we...

    Very close call this morning...

    ...Brian coded. I was giving him a bath when he started gagging as if he were throwing up and by the time I got him in his bed he was gasping for breath. We tried to suction the tube clear but it didn't work and Brian was gasping for air similar to a fish out of water. We called the nurses and...

    Good morning brothers and sisters...

    ...I hope the sun is shining and the air is warm, or warmer, and you get to do a little digging this afternoon. The sun came up over the horizon outside of our 8th floor window. It was a magnificent sunrise. We had a rough night last night. Brian's tube gets clogged and he can't breathe easily...

    THEY MOVED BRIAN TO A ROOM!!

    We were told this morning that we would be in ICU till Monday but Brian is doing so good they moved him today. This is a good thing because it means we are a few days closer to going home.

    New prayer pager#: 1-888-897-0215

    the church got Brian a pager that will reach Nashville. Brian is doing pretty good. We have been in training today to learn how to suction the tube clean and to provide O2 through a bag. Soon we will learn how to replace the trache itself. There is a lot to learn before we can go home. We hope...

    Preparing to leave...

    ...for Vanderbilt. I may be off line a few days if I can't get my laptop to work in the room. There is a computer room at the hospital and I'll try to update Brian's progress there if I can get on. If that fails I'll call Mike from MI. with an update. Thanks for your prayers...the pager is...

    Brian was baptised today, and...

    ...I had the honor of baptising him. I had asked my father-in-law to baptise him but he thought it would mean more to Brian if I performed it. Of course, when I asked Brian if he would like me to do it his face lit up with a big smile and I knew then that there was no way I wasn't going to do...

    He goes to Awana on Wednesday nights and I talked to the pastor about having him baptised this Sunday but it was too short of notice but he said he would meet us at the church Saturday morning. Thanks for ther prayers!!!

    Played miniature golf today...

    The pager has gone off all morning...

    ...I wish you all could see Brian's face light up with his great big smile when it does!!! But instead, it is spring in Tennessee and I thought I would share God's smile with you. These flowers are growing in our yard. [attachment 50700 IMG_6063editweb.jpg] [attachment 50699...

    Prayer pager for Brian....

    ...a local church gave Brian a prayer pager. When someone prays for Brian they dial: 865-417-7049 and follow the directions. Then the pager beeps letting Brian know someone has prayed for him. Pretty cool! Thanks and God bless!!!

    Mike from MI...........Brian loved the card and the....

    ..."Smile...God Loves You" penny. I thought it was neat that the date on the penny was 1982. The year Carol and I got married!! I hope we can go digging when you guys come down our way again. Thanks buddy!!!

    What should I do? What would you do?

    One of my coworkers stopped me before I left work last night and handed me a shopping bag from a local Christian book store. She said she had a gift for Brian and our family. Inside was a jewelry box and 2 receipts. The jewelry box contained a St. Christopher's medallion on a chain, sterling...

    Weird...my post dissappeared!!!

    I previewed it and hit post message and it must be lost in cyberspace. I refreshed my browser but to no avail. I'll try again. I talked to Brian's old plastic surgeon yesterday and he calmed some of our fears about the upcoming surgery. He said Brian's tongue should heal fine and there...

    Update on todays' doctor visit.

    Surgery is scheduled for March 20th, 10:00am. This surgery is very serious. Brian's tongue has moved back into his throat restricting his airway. To reduce the tumor the tongue must be removed from the bone and re-attached. It may not stay re-attached to the tumor and could move back again...

    Back to ER this morning....

    ...Friday night about 12:30, Brian was sleeping in the recliner and when he pushed with his legs to get on the recliner something popped in his left tibia. He hollered out for me but didn't have a tear in his eyes but he was afraid it was fractured. It was painful to touch but it wasn't red and...

    Life has been sooo hectic...

    ...with working a full time job and cleaning a few carpets on my day off or going to doctors...I am just too tired to post much. Plus, we don't get much sleep since Brian is having trouble sleeping. Sometimes I just sit and watch him as he labors to breathe and I'm afraid to sleep myself for...
