1 more sleep

 Tomorrow Braylon will be here! We will probably have to do a quick outside visit when they get to town, but hoping to get him inside Thursday and Saturday. Sounds like we got the visits approved, but are waiting to hear back on the times/days.

Pax had fun at school group today. They did a STEM project making Christmas trees out of Dots candy and toothpicks. He’s learning to write with his left hand and is doing great.

We received 2 packages today. The one from Aunt Kristen and Uncle Levi were some of our favorite books we read together. They sent us the whole series, we are super excited. Great Aunt Pam sent a bunch of Christmas cookies for the staff that’s been taking care of us. All the nurses and therapists were so grateful.

Paxton continues to blow everyone away with his quick progress. He listens to everything they tell him and is the hardest worker they’ve seen. I’m so incredibly proud of him.

We are beyond excited to have our family together for the first time in almost a month. It’s been so hard on all of us in different ways. 

Thanks to you all. I appreciate the support. ❤️

Paxton’s First Health Update

 I’m hoping to use this page for anyone who want to track Paxton’s health progress. I am not great about getting back to everyone’s calls and texts, but I appreciate them more than I can tell you. On Monday, November 29, Paxton came home from school looking and feeling great. Within a half hour of being home he started to panic because he couldn’t talk. I instantly noticed the right side of his body starting to give out. We immediately called 911 and were taken to the ER where he was evaluated by the stroke team. He was diagnosed with a large brain bleed on the left side. We were med flighted to Denver and taken to the PICU. Thankfully, he remained conscious and breathing on his own.  Many (and I mean a lot) of doctors and specialists examined him and ran multiple tests. All we know is that he had a stroke (from the bleed) and it is centered over the part of his brain that produces speech. Yesterday, we were cleared to leave the PICU and were transferred to the in-patient reha...

Good Vibe Friday

We are so thankful for all the support we have received. The Paxton Brown day at school was a huge success. We are so blessed to be part of the Boulder Family. I honestly don’t have words for how grateful I am for everyone who made the day so amazing. My cousins knocked it out of the park with Good Vibe Friday. Paxton loved all the personalized messages and was stunned to see his best friend Clark sending him love. He literally smiled through the entire thing. We even got a shout out from Hawaii. Paxton's therapies went great today. He was able to pedal a bike around the entire floor. He’s still finding his voice, but it’s very patient with me when I try to guess what he’s trying to tell me. Brandon came today and got to see firsthand all the progress Paxton has made this last week. We’ve sent him lots of videos and FaceTimed, but it’s so different to see it in person. Brandon is spending the night at the hospital with him and I’m staying at the hotel across the street tonight. It ...

 Today local bikers had a toy run for the hospital. It was a beautiful day so we were able to go out and watch them ride in on their motorcycles. Santa read a few stories after the bikes came through. It was really fun to watch. The rest of the day consisted mostly of ice cream and football. We do some PT on our own on Sundays and of course he wants to do more than they tell us to. Tomorrow we have a full day of therapies, and then former NASA astronaut, Ron Garan, is supposed to come up for a visit. We are so excited. Paxton can’t wait! Bray had a blast at his aunt and uncle’s this weekend. They kept him busy and completely spoiled him. Brandon went back to Billings today. It was great for him to see all the progress Paxton has made. Zumi came back from her dream vacation on the ranch with Tessa. Brandon said she whined and stood at the front door after she left. Apparently she spent the weekend running around the corrals with the cows.  We are looking forward to what this we...
