I spoke a little too soon. On Wednesday, Brody started having apnea episodes every couple of minutes, meaning that he kept forgetting to breathe. He also had 102 degree fever. He was in the Pediatric ICU til Saturday and has been on the regular pediatric floor at Phoenix Children's Hospital since. The doctors said that he could possibly go home tomorrow or Wednesday. We saw everyone from cardiologists, neurosurgeons, pulmonologist, speech therapists, etc... Everyone trying to figure out why he was having these episodes. They think that he just had a cold that triggered them and being preemie, it affected him strongly. They did do a ton of test and found a few minor things unrelated to the apnea. He has a small brain bleed, which is common in preemies and should heal itself and something is up with his heart beat. When they do an EKG the beats are a little too far apart. It is something the doctors said that we will just have to keep an eye on. He has been a real trooper considering he has been stuck by a ton of needles and all the nurses love him but who wouldn't love that face.
Here is his big sister Rylee taking good care of him and feeding him.
This is video of Rylee telling Brody that it will be OK while feeding him then letting me know she was done.
