Mother's Day Picture
Tomorrow morning Brett will undergo several procedures during one operation. He will get his intestines reattached tomorrow which is the main reason for the surgery. However, while he is in, they want to take advantage of him being under and perform a few other things.
He has had issue with reflux. Last week he developed pneumonia again combined with vomiting. Unfortunately he got very sick and was vomiting bile. They took him off of his feedings and began to monitor him closely. It has been decided that they will do a procedure that will help his reflux .
The third procedure will help treat his CF. They will do a bronchoscopy and while they are looking at his lungs, they will inject some saline. They will then withdraw the saline and process it in a lab. This will determine specifically what type of bacteria is in Brett's lungs. Once they know the exact "bug" they will be able to treat him more effectively. A direct result of this procedure is that Brett will have a fever and will be sick. Please continue to pray for his health.
What handsome boys you have and it was a joy to see the Mother's Day pictures! We at SEBTS (and the BOV) are keeping you in our prayers as Brett recovers from surgery and you continue to tirelessly care for your family during this difficult time. Linda Baker
