There was a miscommunication this morning, so this post is provide an update and correct some misinformation from the previous post.
The nurses tried four times to put the feeding tube in; however, the swelling in his throat made that impossible. Despite this minor setback, Brandon is still stable and critical.
He looks much better than he did yesterday - he's a swollen and beat-up Brandon, but now he looks like Brandon.
Gratefully,
Mariko, Logan, and the entire Rowe Clan

I wanted to thank everyone so much for all of the hope, prayer, thoughts, visits and positive thinking for Brandon. I know in my heart that he will recover from this. Everything happens for a reason. Something good will come of this, I know it. Please continue to drop by the hospital (McKay Dee) and visit with us. I tell Brandon about everyone who visits. Brandon is doing better every day. His swelling has been the same since the original CT Scan, and when they take him off sedation (just a little bit), he responds very well. They are concerned that he doesn't respond to commands (like squeeze your right hand), but they said he is very sedated still, so that could be why. We don't know what affect this will have on his brain, but with everyone's positive thinking and love, he will make a full recovery. I have no doubt of that. I want Brandon to see how many people love and care for him, so please post anything you can and let him know how much you care about him. THANK YOU!

ReplyDeleteWe love you all very much and have each of you in our daily prayers.
Brandon, you are a strong willed person and will pull through this in time.
Mariko, you are a loving and kind person with such a positive attitude. This type of attitude is felt by all you come in contact with. We are here to support you during the waiting time and recovery time later!
Logan, what a beautiful child you are (it couldn't be any other way with the looks of both your parents)! It is great to hear you call for your "dada". He will be home with you soon to give you loves and kisses!
