post op day 2

Brennan is doing pretty good. He got extubated early this morning around 5:15 and has had to have a little bit of oxygen in his nose. He was trying to roll on his tummy all night last night and all day today so he has been getting a little frustrated. He also has had a fever all day until now. It is going down and we hope it keeps going down. He finally gave up around 8 tonight on rolling over and just decided to stay content on his back, I believe that is why his fever is going down. Thank you for your prayers and please continue to pray for him. It seems like he is a different little boy just laying there and not smiling or laughing like he usually does. We are very pleased with how well he has done so far and hope he continues to get better.

First post op surgery update

Today has been a very long day. We are so glad that the surgery is over and now we just have to focus on getting Brennan better and home. He is doing so good right now but things can change very fast so we try not to get to excited. They are hoping to be able to take out the tube in his throat sometime tonight or tommorrow morning. He keeps trying to pull it out and you can see he is trying to cry cause tears come out but he can't make any noise. I believe the worst part about being a mother is watching your child in pain and you can't do anything to help them. We had to crab his hands once and he was so close to ripping it out. I just want to thank everyone that has prayed for him and thought about him we really appreciate all of the gifts and prayers. We truly have to best friends, neighbors and family, thank you all. We had some family come visit him tonight and that has made it so much easier on me. Thank you everyone and keep praying for him. He is such a strong little boy and I know he will do very good at obeying me when i tell him we want to go home and get him better so we can play outside and enjoy summer.

Open heart surgery Day 1

We have begun this process to get Brennans heart fixed. We have been waiting for 3 1/2 hours now and they told us about and hour ago that he is on Bypass. We will keep waiting and hope for the best. Updates will come when he gets out. Please Pray for Brennan!

Cute kids!

Brennan has figured out how to climb up on his crib. We will be lowering it sometime so he doesn't jump out like Zoe did. He thought he was so funny for climbing.
We went to Seven Peaks on Tuesday and the kids had a blast. Brennan has no fear of the water and wanted to go right along with everything Zoe was doing. Zoe loves the water as well and she thought it was fun to have Brennan there too. I don't think they would be my kids if they didn't like the water.
Brennan looks so cool in this hat but dad thinks he looks gay.
Aren't they so cute! This last weekend since it was cold Zoe had to wear pants and that is usually a fight to get her to wear them. So my compramise was to let her wear her tutu over her pants. I think she looks way cute in it.

Brennan Crawling!

We have had a few firsts this week. Brennan has started crawling. Please don't mind the laundry pile i need to fold in the background. He is now into everything and is driving me crazy. Zoe didn't get into things at his age like he does. He is crawling just in time to go have surgery and lay down for 2 weeks. Hopefully it doesn't stop him from crawling after.

Zoe can now ride her bike

It took a long time but Zoe can now ride her tricycle. She still has a hard time watching where she is going but at least she can pedal.

Zoe's dance recital

Zoe looked so cute dancing tonight. I still can't believe she i old enough to be in dance. She was the cutest duck there. When she got on stage she got a little nervous but she still did really good for her first time. After the show aunt Jen gave her a flower. She loves that flower now and won't let go of it. She even has to have it in her room while she is sleeping. She wanted to pose for the camera but she hardly ever looks at the camera.
