As Thursday comes to a close, we can't count the number of prayers answered.
1. Bryan was taken to the procedure earlier than expected. (8am) which means he didn't have very much time to be hungry this morning.
2. There was 3 hours of prep for the procedure which started at 11am.
3. The procedure was more complicated than expected because they found an AVF which had to be corrected with a balloon and coil and it was in a very difficult part of the brain to reach. But all went EXREMELY successful.
4. About 2pm he came out of anthesia with no neurological side effects and by 3pm he was his usual self joking with the nurses and doctors and still hungry.
5. Tonight he is his usual self because he hasn't had much opprotunity talk and now he's making up for it.
6. Becky and Merrie have caught up on some much needed sleep and were able to go out to a little restaruant for dinner.
7. When Dr Malek came back to check Bryan, Bryan asked for two things-
He did want them to shine a bright light in his eyes every hour so he could
get some sleep.
(Dr. Malek agreed to change it to every 4 hours because the high
pressure situation in his vascular system in his brain has been reduced back to
normal)
He also wanted extra blood pressure medication so he can watch the
Super Bowl. (Dr Malek said only if he is a Patriots fan)
The 3rd procedure is scheduled for Monday. So he should be in great shape for Sunday's Super Bowl. After the 3rd procedure on Monday, it will be determined how best to remove the small seconary AVM with surgery or radiation.
Bryan loves to read the comments on this blog. Becky and Merrie are able to update him daily-- KEEP THEM COMING!!

That's good news.
Becky make sure you tell Bryan to heal up fast!
Henry and Jerod aren't going to cut him any slack when it comes to wrestling time. Henry and Jerod are talking about some WWF action: the Miller boys vs. Uncle Bryan and Uncle Jesse.
Take Care, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Barry, Sarah, Jerod, henry and Amelia
Bryan, We are so happy and thankful that you are doing well given your circumstances. I'm actually surprised that it has taken us this long to get the word, given how fast word travels in the Bluffton world. We are praying for you and all your family!

Hi Bryan,
We're all praying for you and your doctors during these procedures and for a smooth recovery. It must mean so much to be surrounded by so many people who care about you.
Dave and Casja Jarry (Neill)
Bryan I'm glad you're doing so well! Everyone I know is lifting you up in their prayers and we're all checking in on you constantly from this blog. Thank you Jenny so much for doing this! Keep up the great recovery, I don't want you having any excuses next time I beat you at settlers.
Becky, don't let him get worked up when Brady blows it this weekend.
I love you and I'm praying for all of you.
Jesse
Hey Bryan and Becky Kaye,
Alyssa and I just wanted to let you guys know that you are really awesome! Alyssa and I are bummed that you had to live up in NE all these years, and couldn't hang out with us. But our prayers are certainly with you.
And by the way, I thought I'd let you know that we're expecting our first child in July, which is pretty cool. Any way, just keep getting better!
Love you guys,
Steve and Alyssa Bixler
Bryan,
Know that I am praying for you. Phil's aware of what's going on and he's doing the same. When you're better, I plan on coming to see you. I love you in Christ and I know our God is holding you in His hands. I can't praise Him enough for taking care of you.
Love you, Bro

Top of the morning to ya,
Bryan you need to get better fast. You are still the man to beat on game night.(Even though you didn't have a good showing last time). Game night has been put on hold until you are back, nobody else wants to read the directions on any of the games. Haha.....eh. Anyway, get better soon and take it easy Sunday watching the Pats win. Don't get ever excited and hurt yourself.
All our prayers are with you, Becky, Jenny and Mama and Papa Kaye.
I love you man.
Bill
Bryan, just remember that Daisy is waiting for you to log into L.O.R.D. and she has a special treat just for you!! hahah

Oh, and I'm planning to come up and see you when you're back at home so we can play endless amounts of games!
Becky, I love you and I'm praying for you as well as Merrie, Joe, and Jenny.

Bryan,
Krista and I have been praying from Ohio for you, Becky, and the family during this tough time. We have been watching the blog updates the last couple days and are glad to see things have gone well with the first two surgeries.
We shared about your situation at church on Wed. so you have several people in Kidron praying for you. Keep your positive spirit!
Phil and Krista Wiechart

I hope you aren't doing this just to torment Becky...hhmm? We hope are back on your feet and feeling 100% very soon. All our prayers are with you. Don't worry God knows what he's doing. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help out in any way.
Take care and we'll see you soon!

Hey brother I just figured out I can leave a comment on here. As far as I can tell your doing really well. I've been praying for you every day and will continue to do so. I can't wait to hear from you. I tried letting annie out last Saturday, but after chasing her around your kitchen table a ton of times, I figured she didn't have to go that bad. She wouldn't go outside so I hope there were no messes. Hope your able to watch the big game. I will talk to you soon. Love you -DAVE O
Bry,
I am so glad to hear that everything is going well, and that you are so concerned with eatting (thats my boy) What a good sign! I just wanted to let you know that we are praying for you and Becky (and the rest of your family too! We love you!
Love,
Tamara, Mike and baby Jonathan
Hey, Bryan and Becky,
We are continuing to pray for you and have our friends in our church family and my ladies Bible study are all praying for you. Glad you are going to be able to enjoy the game (and praying that you won't get too excited when your team trounches their opponents!) We send our love to you and are thankful for Jenny's faithful updating of what's going on.
Hang in there,we are continuing to pray! love, Janie & Steve
Hi dear ones,
Praying for all of you again most especially this morning as Bryan heads in again. All will be well because HE is faithful that promised. May the Lord's presence greatly strengthen and encourage you. He will keep in perfect peace all those whose minds are stayed on Him, because you trust in Him. (Isaiah, chapter 26 I think)
too bad about the Pats yesterday. hope Bryan kept his BP (that's blood pressure in nurse lingo) under control :):)
Giants just played better.
love you all,
betsy
Hi Bryan & Becky,
We can't express how glad we are to here Bryan is overcoming all of the challenges he is currently facing. Keep overcoming those obstacles and hang in there! We can't wait to see or hear from you once you get home...
Our thoughts and prayers are with both of you!
Your friends...
Dan Bugli & Chris Wood
