Brayden Update 11-20-2009

We went and saw Brayden this morning after speaking with the doctor on the phone. She told us that Brayden had a very uneventful and boring night. Which for us is a great relief. He is still on the JET but is close to breathing room air, not using oxygen. She told us that she stopped his Dopamine, which is his Blood pressure medicine, because he was staying pretty stable. They have him on a slow morphine drip to keep him sedated so the JET can do it's job.

When we went to see him, the Doctor smiled at us from across the room and said that she had a talk with him last night and told him that he needed to behave. Last night when we spoke to her she told us that she had a long talk with him and told him he could be her boyfriend and live in the lap of luxury if he would lay still and not cause any more excitement. We had a good laugh about it. We told her that he had been hearing all the stories about Payton and decided that he couldn't be out done by his older brother. One of Miranda's nurses told us before Brayden was born that Payton was our miracle child and Brayden was going to be the normal one. I guess the battle over who is more special has now Begun!!!

Our visit with him this morning was short due to Miranda's still high blood pressure but it was very enjoyable. I love to sit and just stare at him. People always ask me if i want a chair to sit in, but for me all I want is to be as close to him as possible. Since he is too unstable to touch, I cross my arms and place my head on the glass and just stare at him. He is so perfect!! Just for size reference, here is a pic from a couple of days ago with my finger next to his foot. Enjoy!!
