Good Morning

Good morning! Brent had a fairly good night. He said he was up about every hour. He is having pain from his chest tube that they put in. He says he can feel it move around when he coughs and sometimes when he breaths. They had him in the ICU overnight...I know don't freak out...it was just to keep an eye on him since they manipulated his air way they wanted to keep a close eye on him. He is also on oxygen...which is normal for most surgeries-he will come off of that before he goes up on the floor most likely. He looks good but just can't keep his eyes open because of all the pain meds he is on. Last night when we were there, he fell asleep and I told him we needed to take out his contacts and he barely opens his eyes and says can you open them for me and get them out. It was like he was SO groggy & they had just given him some pain meds. So I start to go for his eye and he pops them open and says "I can get it....ha ha..gottcha..." What a squirral!! He still has his personality....praise God!!! They are planning to send him to the 5 tower this morning some time & Dr. Love acted like if everything goes as planned we will be out on Saturday and back home home...like Stanford!! But this is if everything goes just right...so we shall see.

We also want to congratulate Kyle & Lish on their new addition to their family this morning!!! We are super happy for you guys & Jackson Kyle!!! We can't wait to see your new bundle of joy! BLessings to the new parents!

Hope everyone has a blessed day!

Dr. Alex was just in. Nothing really new. Pretty much just waiting for those tubes to come out. He explained his meds and when we will need to come back for appt's with him etc. He is one of the nicest Dr's that we have...I say one of because we many that are nice! Here are a couple pics of him when he was in here with us not even 10 min ago! Enjoy! PS. I have to admit the Coyote movies weren't that bad...rachel!

Good evening! First thing this morning we went to Chicago to meet with the Dr who will be over seeing Brent’s photopheresis treatments. We had all of our questions answered and are hopeful that the treatments will work.  His first treatment will be Thursday morning of this week and we will have to go again on Friday. The treatments have to be done in Chicago and-we were glad to hear-the treatment will only be 2 hrs long!! The one side effects he has is that he can’t be exposed to the sun the first 24 hrs after treatment. This is because they use UV light in the treatment and it takes 24 hrs for his body to absorb any excess of the UV sensitive drug that may be in his body.    Other than that he should feel the same as usual!  He was also scheduled to get a port (under the skin) placed today. After checking his arms they concluded that they didn’t need the port because he has great veins!  We appreciate all the love, support & prayers everyone ha...
