JULY 12, 2013:

Hey everyone!! It's so exciting, got to come down for the first time by train. It was an adventure at first, but I made it.  I am liking it a lot. It's a little different than driving for sure. I haven't taken a bus since high school really.  It showed. I got off on the wrong stop, took the wrong bus, walked a long way to a mysterious bus station (I didn't know where it was but I found it in my walking).  Talked to a bunch of people, who helped me to get on the right bus, and I made it to the hospital at about 10.  I was supposed to have arrived around 9. But oh well, just glad that my prayers were answered even if I didn't realize I was praying at the time.

But thank you to everyone who has been helping us out. I know that our family friend has planned a couple of fund raiser events for us, to help us out, as well as there has been an account opened for Brady at Golden West Credit Union; you can walk into any location and ask to donate to the Brady Wright Donation Fund. For those who have been wondering.

Life has been busy but it is going on Brady has had a great week, the last 5 days have only been quite good news. They tried putting his anderson tube (the one that sucks all the gunk out of his stomach) on down drain, he didn't tolerate it very well. So it's back on suction.  They can't start feedings until he begins to tolerate the down drain first.

He has been harassing the nurses by peeing out his catheter, several times. He is now catheter free, I believe he is probably proud of himself. :) He was able to get that bandage removed off of his stomach, and it's starting to heal up nicely.

They are telling me that he's looking good and much better. They are setting goals for him to heal, rest and grow. :) I am starting to get used to the hospital setting and I'm a little terrified for when we are able to take him home, about being able to care for him as well as the nurses have been able to.  I know that I have a lot to learn to make this little guys life as easy as possible. I can't wait.

He is resting right now, and I am getting ready to catch another bus to start the journey on home, but I cannot wait to be back soon.  I love that little boy, watching his little eyes open up when you talk with him, or watching him settle a little bit when you hum, it can definitely make your day very  happy.
