Day Forty-Two

Day 42 (5/23/18)

Today was a great day!  Brian had a successful diaphragm pacer surgery. I knew he was feeling better after surgery because he asked for a Baconator Burger from Wendy's. :)

Brian's diaphragm is weak because he's been on the vent for a long period of time, but it will get stronger as he paces. Tomorrow he will work 1-1 with a Respiratory Therapist to pace throughout the day. 

The girls made it safe and sound. It is so good to see them!  They visited Brian for awhile, but he was still sleepy from the surgery...they will be back at some point tomorrow.

Kenzie found out this morning that she was appointed Stuco co-president for the State Convention.  We're so proud of her!

Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes. What an awesome day!
