Just go add, Brody's CT today was done with out IV contrast... The contrast is hard on kidneys and they obviously didn't want to put any stress on it. He did take an oral contrast and this helps them differentiate between bowel and tumor. My point being with all this is the picture they got today may be difficult to compare with earlier ones and but the doctor said that it looked "pretty much the same as his one 2 months ago"
I (Bill) slept for about 3 hours while Trish stayed in PICU with Brody and now Trish is trying to get some sleep. Brody looks to be sleeping well. He ate some captain crunch and strawberries before bed and watched (his favorite movie) "the Smurfs" and "A Christmas Story" on his tablet last night.
Brody's biggest disappointment is that he couldn't see Smurfs 2 that was released yesterday... We were going to see it today but Brody was pressing me to see it yesterday... I told him we will go as soon as they release him from the hospital as long as he is up to it.
Brody is tolerating all this pretty well. Kid is beyond tough in my book... He didn't like getting the NG tube placed.. But was more scared of it being done then actually having it done. He told me last night before i went to bed that it's not bugging him much anymore and hopefully it will be out later today.
According to one of the nurses i spoke to last night, the medicine Brody got to lower his Potassium apparently gets it out of his system through the diarhea he experienced last night... It has subsided for the most part....
That's pretty much it for now
