A New Day

While I would like to tell you that this picture is from today and all is well but that is not the whole truth. While things are looking up quite a bit it will probably be another long day. This pictures is from Tuesday night - the day before the surgery - Braxton was okay until we got the the parking garage without dad and then he was concerned. When we left he was upset and stayed that way for about a hour and half. But we just kept telling him that dad needs to stay so he can get better.

Andy resting peacefully right after surgery yesterday.
This was the look most of the day yesterday. It is so hard coming off of all the drugs they have to give you.
And today we are on to bigger and better things. While he is more alert it is not normal, still real doped up. But we started the machine for movement and he is doing well so far.
Andy is running a fever right now so we are trying to get that down but other than that all is well. PT is coming in today to get some movement also. We hope to see the doctor later today and see how things look from his eyes.
Thanks again for all your prayers and calls. Andrea and Karl I can never tell you just how much we appreciate you and all that you are doing. I know it is hard to keep 3 boys but we appreciate the fact that you are willing and able. You have been our lifesavers and we will find a way to pay you back for all you do, have done and continue to do. Thanks!
