Brave little Brynn had to have surgery on her back (May 21) to unattached her spinal nerves. Her first surgery was when she was 8 weeks old. She has been having consistent urinary tract infections for about a year. The poor thing is constantly taking medicine and when she has one of her infections she has lots of accidents and tends to run fevers. The doctors finally agreed it was time to do surgery. Good news the surgery went GREAT! The doctors said it was the best case scenerio and they were able to hopefully fix the problem for good! YEAH!!! Brynn has to lie flat on her stomach for several days (possible weeks). She has a tube in her back draining the fluid, which will be removed, when she goes home. She is catheterized and on an IV. Her throat is sore from the tube that was down it and she won't eat. She is having bad headaches, due to the lose of spinal fluid. She is staying in an ICU room with strict visiting rules.
Carly and Ramie wanted to go see if they could cheer her up. Lisa and Ryan said this was the first time Brynn had smiled since surgery. She has been in so much pain! She wants to go home, she wants to see Jase and did I say she wants to GO HOME! 
We love little Brynn and think she is so BRAVE! We hope she continues to do well and gets to come home soon. Today her MRI results were FABULOUS! Tomorrow will be a big day, tubes will come out and they will let her get up and move around a bit. Lisa and Ryan are exhausted, but so relieved that surgery is over and things went GREAT! Heather, Larissa, Ramie, Carly and I were so HAPPY to see Brynn's cute dimple!

She is sooooo brave, and her parents...wow I don't know how they have done it. Just reading about it is hard. They are all still in our prayers! Keep us updated.
It is so hard to watch someone you love be in such pain, and not be able to take it away. Glad to hear the cute dimple showed up, if only for a moment. What a brave little girl. Glad she has such a good support system. Love you all!
