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!

Thanks Jenny for the post!!! I've been checking for an update every 5 minutes for the last 1.5 hrs. Bryan, once again you come out on top...you always have liked a good story...so keep this one coming. I was worried about you last night after the most unfortunate event took place. "A moment of silence, please"
So once you finally get out of there, I'd be interested in watching you beat Pete in a game of Catan. It's always everyone against him since he always wins....are you up for the challenge?

Praise the Lord for He is forever faithful! Bryan rest up now from your busy day yesterday. Merrie and Becky, hope you can relax also. Joe, I don't know how you are doing the drive back and forth; maybe auto-pilot. We will be praying for grace Bryan to be able to relax for another week before the next procedure. I hope you are journaling during this whole time. It will be great to look back over all He has done.
Love you all,
Tim and Debbie and Faith Tab

We are so blessed to hear this news. Thank God! Our home group was meeting last evening while you were in surgery, so we prayed for you all together for quite a while. Of course we prayed for Becky, Merrie, and Joe and all your family too. I know these weeks are probably the very longest in all of your lives. However, they will be well worth it as they produce spiritual fruit for years to come. Today's psalm is Psalm 67!! which John Bigby read in church on Sunday. We praise thee O God!! We praise thee! much love, betsy

Mornin' Kayes!

So glad to get this report! Praying all went well throughout the night. Through all of this it is good to know the One who holds our future and that he has great plans for it! Jer.29:11 says, " 'I know the plans I have for you', declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you hope and a future'." After this ordeal we're excited to see what your future holds Bryan!

Love ya!
Uncle B., Auntie Pattie, Sam & Tim

Hey Bryan,

It was great to finally be able to provide the blog site to all of your frieds at Freedom! You are sorely missed here! Believe it or not, I even miss hearing you deliberately mis-pronounce my name!

You and Becky are in all of our thoughts and prayers!
