Life is good. In fact, life is wonderful! Brayden had the screws and plates removed from his hip this week. He also had a bone marrow biopsy, as he has macrocytosis. Brayden did well at the hospital. He was discharged the same day. Brayden’s surgeon planned to keep him over night, but Brayden returned to normal so well that there was no reason to keep him. The preliminary biopsy results are good. We are now waiting for the rest of the biopsy results to come back from the Mayo Clinic. Until then, enjoying life getting back to "normal."
Brayden is doing well! Brayden has returned to being my "Gumby." He already started to fold in half and nap face first in the carpet. He started that again, the day after surgery. This position is his favorite way to sleep. It does not matter if he is on the floor, or in his bed. I can start Brayden laying on his back in bed, but 10 minutes later, this is how you will find him.
I know that Brayden is feeling better. He told me to “go to work” today. I think he is telling me that he has had too much time at home with Mom, and needs his social life back. I did not think that 8 year olds had a big social life, but this kid does!
