Merry Christmas

 Our Christmas looked a little different than we had pictured a month ago, but I’m so thankful for the day we had. Bray was allowed on the floor for a visit again today, we had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, opened gifts from Santa, and other Christmas gifts that were sent here. We took Bray on a tour of the hospital and hung out in Paxton’s room.







After our visit, Bray and Brandon got packed up to leave in the morning. I can’t believe our weekend is almost over. 😢 Tonight I’m hanging out with Braylon at the hotel. We are watching football and relaxing. 

A nurse spilled the beans tonight saying they are moving our discharge date up since Pax is doing so well. We should have a new projected date at our meeting on Tuesday. Our current discharge date is February 8. We obviously want to come home earlier, but also know this is the best place Pax can be for this crucial recovery period. We trust the judgement of our medical team.

I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend. We are beyond blessed to have all of you in our lives. We are so grateful to have Paxton with us this Christmas healing. We love you all. Merry Christmas.

 Yesterday Pax had his MRI and angiogram. They found a small AVM that caused the bleed. This abnormal vessel will need to be removed. It happens to lie right on the pronunciation speech center of his brain. There is a risk of him have temporary or permanent set backs in his speech with the removal. The neurosurgeon is consulting with other specialists to determine the best way to remove it. The vascular neurosurgeon said it’s close to the surface, which is good. We aren’t sure when the surgery will take place, but it doesn’t sound like this trip. I have a mixture of emotions. On one hand, I’m glad we know the cause and it can be fixed, but the risks are scary. Of course we’ve gotten ice cream since we’ve been here. He was thrilled to see they had Cookie Butter this week. We have an appointment with the rehab doctor today so I’m sure we will be getting more ice cream today. Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and for all the love and prayers. I will update the blog when I know mo...

Christmas Miracles

 We have some great news…Paxton started walking on his own! He literally went to PT in the morning being helped by his therapists and a hour later came walking back without assistance. He is literally blowing everyone away. So many people have told me that he is the hardest worker they’ve ever had. We are so incredibly proud of him. We kept the secret from Brandon and when he got here tonight, Paxton got up from his wheelchair and walked to give him a hug. Lots of happy tears were shed. He fatigues really quick and still has some work to do to perfect his stride, but he’s crushing it! I tried to upload the videos but I can’t get them to work. I will keep trying. My favorite response is from Eva and Nellie. They sent an awesome video in response, but I can’t get it to upload either. Grrr Bray and Pax were so excited to see each other. They hugged and were so sweet to one another. Bray and I cried as soon as we saw each other. I have a feeling these next few days will go by much too ...
