It's 10pm and we're back at the hometel, the Residence Inn has been great to us and so has Children's Hospital.
Brycen had a great day. All 3 chest tubes were removed as was his catheter and dialysis tube. He looks MUCH better this evening than he did this morning. Once the swelling goes down he's really going to look good. He continues to be responsive to our voices and has a death grip when we put a finger in his left hand. It looks very possible that we could try and take the ventilator off tomorrow. God is truly busy answering all of our prayers. He has done so well that we have decided to post of picture of him after he had the tubes removed. It as at the bottom of this post (hopefully I can leave some space so that you don't have to view it unless you want to, but here is your caution).
Our request tonight is that in your prayers for Brycen you please include his friend Caden. Caden is from Jackson, MS and had the same type of coarctation that Brycen had. Caden and Brycen were in surgery at the exact same time Monday, in fact they were the only two heart surgeries on. Unfortunately, Caden started bleeding in his brain today and is suffering from seizures. He truly is in need of God's awesome work.
We appreciate all you all have done!!!!!! (Picture follows)

You can see the little "patches" just below the scar. Each of those was where a tube was.

Thank you for posting the picture of sweet Brycen. I rejoice seeing his body healing and thank God that that precious nurse in Springdale caught that murmer! I love his little chin....just want to kiss him! He has waaay too many boo boo's.
oh little bubba
he is even so cute under all these tubes and wires. AMAZING what they can do.
He will be proud of this scar one day, gives him life!
We are keeping you all in our prayers!

He is doing so well, though!
I am so happy to hear that the tubes are being elimanted one-by-one and Brycen is on the road to recovery!!!
He is just so sweet even under all those tubes! His scar will heal in no time & he'll be proud to show his buddies his "battle wounds"!
We are praying for a speedy recovery Mr. Brycen!
Lots of Love from Fayetteville.....
I am a friend of Scott and Jessica. We have been praying. In my Bible study by Jennifer Rothschild, her child also had surgery at an early age and has a scar. When her son asked about it, she told him that it meant, "God takes care of us." She ended the study with these words, "Perhaps you too have a scar. You may have trouble rejoicing in it, but think of your scar as a showcase of God's power to take care of you and you will rejoice in the Savior who strengthens you. When you do, God will use your joy to minister to others."
No matter what type of scar we all may have, mental, physical, emotional, God can use it to show case his power and allow us to minister to others.
I see that you are praising during the storm and caring for others. I am proud of you and know that God is blessed by your love for him and others.
Hi, this is Jami Cheshier and you may not remember me, but I now work with Kristi Farmer and Emily Williamson at J.B. Hunt Elememtary. I just wanted you to know that I have been praying for Brycen and your family since you left for Little Rock. As a mommy, I can't imagine what you are going through, but remember that GOD IS GREAT! I will keep praying for the little guy! Take care, Jami
