Surgery Time Set

After reviewing the CT scan the doctor decided that Brad needed another day of antibiotics to help clear the infection. The smaller the infection the better chance for no colostomy and easier healing. The surgery will be tomorrow (Sunday) around 8:00am. We are thankful it was not last night because the surgeon had already done 7 surgeries that afternoon/evening. We want him to be fresh.


We took Brycen to see Brad today and both of them perked up! I know they were glad to see each other.

Please continue to pray for Brad, the doctors, and our family.

YES this time it is Brad. He really doesn't have his own blog but I feel like he should. As many of you know he has been trying to figure out what "sickness" he has had the past three weeks. He has been treated for sinus infection, kidney stone, and inflammed colon (diverticulities). Well apparently his diverticulities has created a hole in his colon. After some tests this morning the doctor called and said come immediately to the hospital. He was admitted and will have surgery tomorrow morning to remove a portion of his colon. Once again we ask for a little extra prayer!!! Hopefully 2009 will be a smooth sailing year for us. We are so thankful to have been blessed with Brycen and can't wait until Brad feels better so we can do family things again.

I will update after his surgery tomorrow. He will be in the hospital a week and then have 2-3 weeks of recovery at home. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

What can I do now?

Brycen is almost six months....
He can scoot across the floor.
He tries to crawl.
He gets really red cheeks by the end of the day (suggestions???).
He smiles and laughs (a lot at his daddy).
He has a routine.

He always sits up.

He really wants to stand up.

He likes to try to use his sippy cup.
He absolutely LOVES to eat.
He drools ALL day (no teeth yet).
He enjoys bath time.
He CAN sleep through the night (doesn't always do it though).
He has spent the night at both grandparents houses.

Just For Fun

Brycen is a much happier baby now that he feels normal again!

Baptism

Brycen was baptised yesterday. He had an ear infection and fever but we still managed to get a little smile for his picture.

Thank you to everyone who came for his special day. We appreciate all the support.

Happy Halloween!

Brycen had a great first Halloween.

The neighbor girls were our first trick-or-treaters! How cute are they???

Brycen's friend Bishop was "stinky."

Landon helped hand out the candy. Notice the way he says "Cheese" with his eyes!

The whole family enjoyed the evening!

Finally!

After looking at all of our friends blogs we finally loaded up the family and took Brycen to the pumpkin patch!
