monday news, late

Braxton had an up and down day yesterday. Nausea kicked in and he spent much of the day being sick or sleeping. :( He did have his spinal tap in the afternoon, which was very cool to watch! Dr. Burke made the procedure look so smooth and simple. He was deep in concentration feeling around for the right entry into Braxton's spinal colomn (SP?) with the long needle tap, while the nurse and anesthetist commented on Dr. Burke's tie and talked about favorite soft drinks. Hospitals can be quirky. We got back from the tap and braxton just kept getting sick. He was able to rest and take a 4 hour nap. I left when Brad arrived and prayed for Brax all the way home in the rain and thunder.
Braxton gets to come home today! Yeah!

Brax and Family,
Thank you for this Blog. This is my first experience with one. We are thinking of you everyday Braxton and praying for you to be well soon. It has been so great to see pictures of you and your sisters. It reminds me how much I miss you all. Lots of love.

Hi to all. It is wonderful to read about the whole family's activities as well as Braxie's progress. Sure hope you're past the nausea, Brax, and feeling better at home. Don't let any germs in! Love, Aunt Wilma
