Update: 10/19 Brodie's New Liver Birthday
It's go time here soon... Surgeries kick off around 7-730 - they are slow, tedious procedures so there will not be a ton of fast flying details and updates. My husband Russ and Sister in Law Emily will update the page. This will be my last post until later on this week!
Please think of Russ today - he is a warrior in his own right... I keep saying i have the easy way out - ha! Send him love!
We all are good - as good as you can be with IVs and blood draws and no eating/drinking through the night. Short term pain for long term gain. We are in separate buildings.
We received a tribute earlier this week from my awesome talented cousin Robby and his equally awesome and talented friend Lexie - in the intro don't mind the organ mix- up it is liver not kidney - ha!

Yellow by Coldplay - what a perfect selection. Here are some of the lyrics:
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah, they were all yellow.
I came along,
I wrote a song for you,
And all the things you do,
And it was called "Yellow".
So then I took my turn,
Oh what a thing to have done,
And it was all yellow.
Your skin,
Oh yeah your skin and bones,
Turn into
Something beautiful,
Do you know,
You know I love you so,
You know I love you so.
I swam across,
I jumped across for you,
Oh what a thing to do.
'Cause you were all yellow,
I drew a line,
I drew a line for you,
Oh what a thing to do,
And it was all yellow.
Your skin,
Oh yeah your skin and bones,
Turn into
Something beautiful,
Do you know,
For you I'd bleed myself dry,
For you I'd bleed myself dry.
Well my little warrior man - today we are going to fix you. We are going to rid your body of pain. We are going to turn your skin and bones into something beautiful. We are STOMPING OUT any trace of Biliary Atresia. We are tapping in at Round #2 a new start at this beautiful life.
For you little Brodie - you know I love you so - you are so beautiful - we are going to do this together.
Strong. Brave. Tough.
Brodie Tigue Happy New Liver Birthday!!!! Love your Mama and your special Good Vibe Tribe
