What a difference a day makes! All of the stress and lack of sleep finally caught up to daddy, who came down with a stomach bug, but Brycen picked up the slack.
Christy shared the news of improvement with me as the day went on yesterday, but saved the best news for this morning. As we got on the elevator, we pushed button 3 (NICU) instead of 4 (CVICU). Surprise!!!! Brycen is back in NICU and has 90% of all the tubes and wires removed. No ventilator, no oxygen! Just basic IV's for a couple of medications that they are trying to ween him off of. He also lost his head monitor (the silver thing that dad called his football helmet). He is a totally different kid today, even trying to nurse at times! If it wasn't for the scar, you could hardly tell he's been through all of this.
Here is a picture to show his progress. This was taken before they removed his "helmet." He's been all eyes and smiles this morning.

Brad and Christy - Oh my what a difference a day makes indeed. He is PRECIOUS! Brad I'm glad to hear you are feeling much better. Here is a verse to take comfort in as you know God is an awesome God and has already shown you guys that through him all things are possible.
PSALMS 41:3
The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed and will restore him from his bed of illness.
We love you guys!
Trevor, Kim and Noah
