Going home!
Brody has the all-clear from his doctor, and we'll be on our way soo. Rough night, but he's doing great.

Sleeping
Brody's sleeping right now, taking turns on mine and Melissa's shoulders. He's pretty bloody and cranky (when he's awake), but he's breathing well. He had a few ounces of PediaLyte, but the bottle was still uncomfortable on his mouth.Posted by Lee Clontz at 2:27 PM | Comments (0) | TrackBack
Brody's back
Brody's back in the room with us now. He's a little bloody, but not as swollen as we expected. Melissa's holding him, and he's sound asleep. He has a trumpet -- a small funnel -- in his nose to keep the airway clear.Posted by Lee Clontz at 11:04 AM | Comments (0) | TrackBack
All done
Dr. Williams just came by and Brody's all done. The surgery went very well and Brody is in recovery and is waking up. We'll get to see him in 30-45 minutes.Posted by Lee Clontz at 9:52 AM | Comments (0) | TrackBack
Status update...
Just got a call from surgery and everything's going fine. They said he should be done before too long.Posted by Lee Clontz at 9:31 AM | Comments (0) | TrackBack
He's off
This place is incredibly well-run. Dr. Williams came by for a check-in at 8:20. He's very calm and comforting. They took Brody a 8:30 sharp, so now we wait. Melissa saw a boy who'd had cleft palatte surgery last time we were here and the swelling was really significant, she said. Brody will probably look pretty rough when we see him again.Posted by Lee Clontz at 8:47 AM | Comments (0) | TrackBack
Anesthesiologist just stopped by...
Way too much information, but very helpful. Brody may have some immediate breathing difficulty because of the changes to his anatomy. Ten more minutes...Posted by Lee Clontz at 8:20 AM | Comments (0) | TrackBack
Looking good...
Brody's all checked in and we're now waiting for a visit from Dr. Williams. Daddy's prowling for caffeine.Posted by Lee Clontz at 7:41 AM | Comments (0) | TrackBack
In our waiting room
Brody's getting his gown on while the nurse takes his vital signs. We're in a temporary waiting room now.

Gigantic candy corn
Being rather a candy corn aficianado, it was necessary to let Ry jump the fence and play with the Zoo Atlanta decorations.
