We met with Dr Fontenot this morning and he says Brycen is recovering as fast and as well as anyone he can remember. The nurses here can't believe he is doing so well. At 3:00 he just had his last IV removed!!!! He is only on the heart monitor and pulse/ox monitor (what everyone has when they're in a hospital). He continues to eat well and is starting to gain some weight. I think at the last weigh in he was at 7lbs 4oz, that's a big change from 6lbs 10oz 5 days ago. Our going home outlook appears to be either tomorrow or Tuesday. We are so blessed that such a bad situation has gone so smoothly.
We also have an update on Brycen's friend Caden, from Jackson, MS. Caden's bleeding in his brain has stopped and they're hoping it's done for good. All signs seem to point that way. He remains in CVICU so that they can monitor his brain very closely, but he has recovered well from his heart surgery. All of his tubes and his ventilator were removed yesterday. His mom and dad say he looks so much better.
Both of our families thank you all for all of your prayers and support!!
Here is a picture of Brycen's room. Dad is still giving nurse Cydne fits on getting the XBox working for him :)

Autumn has been keeping us updated about baby Brycen. We have a wonderful group of Bible study girls that are continuously praying for him and his friend! Isn't God amazing! He always listens! I am so happy he is doing better! We've been praying like crazy!!
In His Love,
Becky
