Dearest Family, Friends, and Those of I’ve never met,
Words will never express the gratitude I feel for all of your support and postings through this blog. The last month has definitely been a challenge for my family, but has shown above all else God’s grace and perfect plan. Your postings were one of the greatest sources of strength I had through this whole ordeal. Everyday I asked my family to read the new postings, usually several times a day and they were a great source of comfort. It’s humbling to think that so many people have been praying for me and my family through this time – I am still very overwhelmed. The road to recovery is going better everyday. I am walking by myself, although Becky is within 4 inches at all times, and I’m having my staples removed Friday (2/22). I know this is a fairly impersonal way of thanking everyone, but I promise it’s only the beginning. I pray that God bless every one of you seventy times over for the way you have blessed me. If anyone wants to e-mail me, I would be happy to respond, my e-mail address is bryan.kaye@gmail.com. Thank you all again and thank you Jenny for setting up this amazing source of encouragement for me. I’ll send one more post in a week or so outlining the series of events that God so perfectly set up for this situation because when you see how he set this whole plan up starting over a year ago it will really blow your mind. Thanks again!

update
Bryan is doing really well. He is loving the fact that he's home, in his own bed, with his own things. He's come to appreciate the little things that he missed while at the hospital.
He is recovering well. He is headed back to Boston on Friday to get the staples out from the last surgery.
Bryan is going to post his own "blog" here when he gets a chance (his goal is Friday).
So be watching for it...

just to keep you posted
Bryan has been doing very well physically. Yesterday he had experienced some "fiery darts", where he was vulnerable most. But as always, God is good and continues to provide for him.
His first night out of the ICU was a little rough because of the new room, a roommate, and so much more noise. Last night he had some headphones and fell asleep to Praise Music, and slept well.
This morning they took out the last IV so Bryan is more mobile, able to move around. They also changed his bandage. So he is all ready to go home, just waiting on the official OK.
Bryan specifically asked for the warriors to keep praying against anymore of those "fiery darts", and especially for a quick recovery and the ability to sleep in his own bed tomorrow night. Bryan is determined and in good spirits toady.

prayer needed for strength
Bryan was a little down today. Being out of the ICU and in a new room was another adjustment for him. He didn't get much sleep last night because of the noises and interruptions. He is trying to get used to a new schedule, deal with physcial therapists and just a new atmosphere which is not as attentive as the ICU.
Please pray for strength and encouragment and a speedy healing so Bryan can be home by the weekend.
thank you!!

Happy Valentine's Day
Today America celebrates love. The Kaye's have much to celebrate too and have experienced "how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God" (Eph 3:18-19). Also, the love and prayers and support from all of you, all over the world, have truly been overwhelming. There are no words to express how thankful and appreciative we all are.
Bryan just wanted to rest yesterday. He said the surgery was very painful and he didn't want to do anything yesterday but sleep and be quiet.
After they moved Bryan out of the ICU, he bounced back quickly. He is EXTREMELY ready to go home. He has already planned his meals and what he's going to do. He wants steak and he is planning to organize his games and fix their boxes. :)
Today he is going to clean up and hopeful walk around a little bit. Like I've said before, Bryan loves those comments... I believe they, along with all the prayers, have been a huge factor in his quick recovery. They are such a blessing to him.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

exciting update
Bryan had a good day... still recovering. He had some dinner tonight.
A few hours ago, they moved Bryan out of the ICU!!!! He is now in a regular room and they removed all of the ICU monitoring tubes and such. So he'll be more confortable and most likely home by Saturday.
WOO-HOO

this morning
Merrie wanted me to share this with you:
Bryan is resting, but uncomfortable, just like the doctors said he would feel for 48 hours after the surgery. Merrie thinks it's the first time in Bry's life he didn't wanna socialize. He literally wants to be left alone and quiet.
He told Becky this morning he felt like his head was sleeping on a rock, but with pain meds and anti-nausea medication he is resting as comfortably as possible considering the trauma his head went through yesterday.
This morning-10:30am- he is having a final CAT scan and angiogram to confirm the 100% success of all 4 of his brain procedures. Bryan's surgeon did say that after the 48 hours of being uncomfortable, he would bounce back quickly and start begging to go home. We are anticipating Bryan will finally be moved out of ICU (he's been there 2 1/2 weeks) and onto a regular floor. Then hopefully allowed to come home on Saturday.
Becky and Merrie felt this morning that their "cups runneth over" even though we have all walked though the "Valley of the Shadow of Death" we never did have "fear of evil". "God's rod and his staff" were truly our comfort. They are rejoicing because God is really such an awesome Shepherd.
I will give another update with the results of the tests later this afternoon.
update: the CAT scan and Angiogram showed that everything is great. All 4 procedures were very successful.

"GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS"
The surgery is done!!
At 7:20pm the Dr came out to the waiting room, where Becky, Joe, and Merrie were, and said that the surgery was very successful. They got out the AVM and cleaned up the original bleed. He also said the risk of bleeding again over the next 24 hours is much lower because of the success of the surgery.
They are getting Bryan out of the anesthsia now and wheeled him to his ICU room. Joe is headed home because of the huge snow storm approaching, but Merrie and Becky get to go see him in about 45 min.
Bryan will be uncomfortable for a few days, but then he will be ready to go home this weekend. After the next 24 hours in the ICU, they will move Bryan to a regular room while he recovers for a few days.
God is so faithful and so good. Thank you for praying. Please continue to pray for Bryan as he goes through recovery. Keep the comments coming, Bryan really looks forward to them.

almost done
A nurse just called and said that they got the whole AVM and they are now just finishing up. He is doing well and should be done on schedule. He will be groggy for a while but the next 24 hours are the most critical. Keep praying!
little update
They took Bryan on time 1pm(est). The nurse came out around 3 and said he's doing great. He is still on schedule to be done at 5pm.

Outlook for Tuesday
Merrie wanted you all to know:
Monday night 7:30pm the neurology team came by to explain Bryan's surgey which is set for around 1pm, Tuesday (tomorrow). The top neurologist, Dr. Heilman-cheif of neurosurgery, will be performing the surgery, with Dr. Malek in attendance. Dr. Heilman is considered one of the best neurosurgeons in the world. ("Only the best for Bryan") Bryan, Becky, Joe, and Merrie felt very comfortable after he explained the procedure.
Surgery will take about 5 hours with the highest risk being the following 24 hours. With no complications during the recovery, Bryan should be able to go home this weekend. YAY!
Dr Heilman felt that his vision and imbalance should be 95% recovered within 2 months and 100% by next year at this time. His golf game should not be affected at all this summer, which made Bryan smile.
Please keep Bryan in your prayers, especially during the surgery- 1-7pm- and then the following 24 hours.
I will post an update on the blog when Bryan goes into surgery and then afterwards.
Bryan will be unable to eat after midnight tonight, but is planning a chocolate chip cookie snack just before midnight. :)
Bryan and family has been so blessed by all the prayers and cards and support... it has been overwhelming.

the weekend
Bryan had a good weekend. Lots of R&R and some visitors.
He had 2 MRIs just to keep an eye on how things are going.
He goes into his surgery tomorrow at around noon. Please keep him in prayer.
I'll keep you updated when I hear more. :)

Saturday
Merrie, Bryan, and Becky were laughing last night thinking it's really bad when you get excited about brain surgery... hee hee. But with all that Bryan has been through the last 2 weeks, brain surgery is the simple part.
Bryan was scrubbed this morning and Becky was able to finally wash his hair. He is ready for a few visitors this weekend.
After the surgey on Tuesday, believing everything will go smoothly, Bryan will be ready to go home on Friday or Saturday. He is really looking forward to seeing Annie (their dog), having a hot shower with water pressure, sleeping in his own bed without constant intrruptions and flash lights in eyes.
Becky and Bryan appreciate all the comments, concerns, cards, prayers, and well wishes.

results
After the angiogram today, the doctor said every looks really well and Bryan's brain is functioning normally and has adjusted to the changes! Praise God!
He is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday at noon. They are going to actually go in there and take out the smaller AVM to prevent the chance of it bleeding again.
Thank you again for the support and prayers!

Merrie wanted me to share this with you:
It's been 14 days since Bryan had that first small bleed which was the warning signal for greater problems going on in his brain that would have otherwise been missed. So literally we are grateful for "little things". The family has settled into a hospital habit.... Becky is at Bryan's room at 8am while Merrie sleeps in and arrives around 11am so that Becky can go back to the hotel for a rest in the afternoon. The past several days they have done lots of crossword puzzles, played card games, and talked quietly. Sometimes Bryan participated, sometime he rested. Over the past week he has had Chinese food, Pizza, McDonald's burger, and Grandma June's Chicken noodle matzo ball soup. He enjoyed everything, but the chicken soup really did minister to his soul. Merrie and becky survive on PB&J, breakfast sandwich, cereal bars, and sandwihes from the little shop by the hospital entrance. Joe continues to visit brining the mail (thanks for all the cards, keep them coming), the laundry, bottled water, etc.
Today they have scheduled Bryan for another angiogram hopefully around 11am. Bryan can't eat from 12am on the day of these tests so we always hope they bring him down early in the day. This test will comfirm the success of the past 3 procedures (embolizations). If the angiogram shows the sucess, then they will most likely schedule Bryan for brain surgery on Monday to remove the small AVM in the cerebullum portion of his brain.
Though he is not out of the woods yet, we can see the light. Bryan is getting nuggy to come home and the idea of another week in the ICU is a bit disheartening. He understands this is necessary for total recovery.
He continues to love those blog comments and is encouraged to know so many people are concerned and praying for him litteraly around the world. (AU, Hungry, Kenya, Israel, as well as coast to coast USA)
I will update the blog when we get the results of the angiogram.

another of the same
Bryan has been sleeping a lot today, and he has also been playing games (of course) and doing crossword puzzles.
Several times a day Merrie and Becky print out your comments and read them to Bryan. He's really enjoying them and appreciates have that connection with you all.
Thanks for the prayers! Bryan is doing really well. God is so good all the time.

a low key day
Bryan had a good day yesterday (Tuesday). Our dad(Joe) came up to visit in the afternoon and they all just sat with Bryan. They talked when he wanted to talk and they let him sleep when he wanted to sleep. Bryan is being awakened by the bright light in his eyes every hour during the night again as part of their keeping a "close" watch on him while he's recovering from the las procedure.
Merrie and Becky got a lot of extra rest yesterday. They were both able to go back to the hotel through out the day and take a few hours to rest.
I'm sure today is going to be more of the same. But I'll let you know what's up when I hear from Boston.

Tuesday morning
Merrie and Becky went into see Bryan this morning expecting to see him still groggy but were pleasantly surprised to see him alert sitting up in bed and having just finished his breakfast (cereal and toast). Bryan wonders how a hospital can mess up toast but they did. :)
During the night Bryan rested in between the hourly checks and told Merrie and Becky this morning last night had good parts and bad parts but was so grateful for his nurse, Nora. Becky called several times during the night to check in and Merrie polished off a huge Hersey's special dark chocolate bar ("Thanks Debbie!!").
10:30am Bryan is presently having a CAT Scan, which is done regularly to insure the procedure went as planned without complications. They are expecting today to sit him up in the chair, allow him to eat what ever he wants to eat, and stay comfortable. They are keeping a close monitor on him with hourly checks. 11:10am- Bryan is back from the CAT Scan and all checks out well.
This week they'll continue to keep a close eye on him with no more procedures planned for the week. They are just giving him (his brain) time to adjust.
Last night the Ray Boltz song, "The Anchor Holds" was running through Merrie's mind and she knows that the Lord has been their Anchor throughout this whole process. Below is the chorus of the song:

update
As of 10pm, Bryan is back in the surgical ICU. This procedure was mainly focused on the AVF. Dr Malek said they had to do some "fancy tricks" to complete the procedure successfully today. Primarily which involved blocking the largest feeder vessel in the AVF.
Bryan is being heavily monitored. He is resting comfortably, bundled up. Bryan recognized Merrie and Becky. Doctor has checked all responses- Vision and everything checks out fine- Praise the Lord!
They will watch him carefully over the next week. And pending everything stays steady; Doctors plan to surgically remove the smaller AVM next Monday. This means 2 more weeks for Merrie and Becky to stay in Boston.
Becky is doing really well. She held up wonderfully well today. Keep the comments and prayers coming. Bryan LOVES to be connected.
Thank you so much for all the prayers!

Immediate prayer need for Bryan,
Bryan just under went the biggest and most critical procedure yet. The doctor's concern is that with this procedure they redirected 60% of the blood flow in Bryan's brain (as opposed to the other 2 procedures which was about 20%).
Bryan will be under very close watch for the next few hours (7-9pmEST). They are concerned about his vision among other things. Please pray for Bryan and a full recovery from this procedure and that his brain will adjust quickly.
I'll post an update when I hear.

yesterday's events and what's happening today
This was yesterday afternoon. My cousin had bought a Pats helmet earlier in the season with all the official signatures of the players and coach. They brought it in yesterday for Bryan to see. He looks excited about it. I wonder if the helmet is worth something now :(
Bryan had a lot of visitors yesterday - My aunt and cousin and her husband came in to chat with Bryan for a while and he watched the game with several people. He was very chatty and feeling good. I haven't heard anything since before the "game" though.
Bryan is scheduled to have the 3rd procedure at 11am(EST). Please pray! Bryan wants to be home by this weekend.
I'll post an update when I hear.

Today's events in Boston
Bryan was able to take a nice hot shower today for which he was very grateful.
Our grandparents came in to visit with our dad and brought some homemade Chicken soup.
Our aunt, uncle and little cousin came to visit too.
Bryan's had a lot of visitors and he is feeling great. Besides that it's been a quiet day, nothing to report.

Well I (Jenny) actually got to talk to Bubba this morning. My mom had her cell phone in the room when I called her. I got them when they were alone in the room so no nurse could object.
He sounded great. His usual chatty self. He told me he was feeling really good. and how annoyed the nighttime hourly bright light in the eyes was. He told me how hungry he gets when they won't let him eat, but now he can eat whatever he wants because he isn't having any medical prcedure doing again until Monday. He was able to tell me the story of this whole ordeal from his point of view.
He told me how much he appreciates your comments....He told me several times.
As you know, Bryan thrives on people and hearing from all of you means so much to him. The prayers are a huge encouragment. Becky and my mom have been counting the states and countries that have people praying for him..... It's amazing how many people all over the world have been covering Bryan in prayer. And we know there are people we will never know about. But God is good all the time.
Our Aunt Jamie (who lives in the area) brought Bryan some beef stew and challah bread today. She also brought him some Patroits paraphernalia for Sunday.
Thanks again for letting Bry (and Becky and the families) know how much he (and we) are loved.
