First 24 Hours Down
Let me start out by saying that it is 10:40 and Matt and I are laying in bed! This is a record time for the earliest we have gotten home from the hospital, so you know things must be going good! I am VERY happy to report that the first 24 hours after surgery have been better than we could have ever expected!!! Just to express to you how well things are going so far...when Dr. Kays came in this evening to check on Pearson, he walked over to read the stats on his machines and his response was "holy shit." He couldn't believe how good his numbers looked! He said that Pearson is responding really well to his surgery and because his numbers looked so good and it appears that his lungs are doing some of the work, they were able to start weaning him off the ECMO again. We can't tell you how PROUD we are of our sweet little Pearson and we know that he is such a FIGHTER!!! He has already shown us that, and we can't wait to see what the future holds!!! Let's pray that the next 24 hours continues to get better, because we know that this day would not have been possible without God and all of your prayers. We can't tell you how blessed we feel to be surrounded with all of the love, support, and prayers you continue to send our way. It is overwhelming to think about all of the people who are following Pearson's story and praying for us, and most importantly, Pearson! We will never be able to express how much this all has meant and will continue to mean to us.

Praise the Lord! He makes what we think is impossible...POSSIBLE! Praying for the next 24 hours and hoping you both are able to rest well tonight.

Lung function chants!
That is just amazingly wonderful! Such great news!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to day 2 of recovery and one day closer to Lil P coming home. I was so happy to get the call then the test that Pearson was responding so well. God is so good, I thanked him and praised him for getting you all to surgery day and then for getting surgery out of the way so that the healing could began. Now praying for little man to have better days as he heals and gets stronger and stronger. I can not wait to get back down next week to see all the miracles God has done for Pearson, my selfish prayer is that I will get to touch this little one that I love so much, but I will pray like Jesus Not my will, but thy will heavenly Father.
ReplyDeleteLove the three of you

YAY!!!! I am so happy to read this! This is how my Dakota was too! Always shocking Dr. Kays and the nurses ... they said she would have a rough couple of days after surgery and she said "bah" to that! I called her my little overachiever! Many, many prayers for continued progress and another good 24 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rejoicing with you for the good news. I will hope to hear a "Holy shit" myself after Clara's surgery! Pearson will be in our prayers for continued recovery and healing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news, Brandi! Charlotte and I prayed for Pearson's strength last night before she went to bed. I've shared your story with my family and they're praying too. He is certainly a fighter with so much to teach you, it seems. Please let me know if I can help you guys out in any other way.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so happy to hear the great report! I am praying non stop and can't wait to come meet him!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I just want to say that I am very PROUD of both you and Matt and the incredible strength you have shown. You have an inspiration to All!
ReplyDeleteMatt, I have to say to you that when I saw you on your knees sobbing into the lap of your broken hearted wife after hearing that Pearson
had a brain bleed and that he was about to enter the most difficult surgery of his Life..
I knew at that moment in time God had put the most WONDERFUL MAN in charge of my Daughter and Grandson! For that I am truly Greatful and most Thankful.
Brandi, to you my Darling Daughter... I have seen the most tremendous FAITH, HOPE, COURAGE, and LOVE ever expressed from a Mother's Heart and in her eyes to know that she will do whatever it takes to see this through... just to be able to bring her Son home. I can see Motherhood will come as natural for you as it did for me.
There is absolutely nothing that neither one of you will not do for your Child!!!!!!
I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that God could not have chosen two better people to have become Pearson's Parents!
I Love All Three of You with All My Heart!!
