Deep Breaths

 We got all the pre op testing and appointments done. We check in at 5:30 AM and surgery starts at 7:30. They expect the procedure to take 8-9 hours. A nurse from the OR should call us about every hour with updates. He will end up with a titanium plate and screws and a decent incision. He was excited to hear that he will have titanium in his body (he apparently knows a lot about it and educated me).

After all his appointments, we went to the zoo. It was a gorgeous day and we wanted the fresh air.

Brandon is having plane problems and still isn’t here. Fingers crossed he will get to Denver around 11 tonight. It’s been a long day for him, too.

Bray got a surprise care package from Kacie, Daniel, Amanda, Milty, Mike, and Lindsey. He also got to hang out with some of his favorite pups while hanging with Kacie. Tonight he will most likely stay up too late watching movies with Uncle Kevin.

Thanks to literally all of you. So many people have reached out and we are so lucky to have all of you in our lives. We love you.

Denver

 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 ...
