HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY BRODY HUDSON!!!
It's a big day for Brody and his Pawpaw. Richard will go in for surgery at 3pm today. The doctors plan to replace the bone flap (the piece of his skull that was removed on Monday, October 24), reattach the top part of his right ear and insert a medi port. "A medi port is a small medical appliance that is installed beneath the skin. A catheter connects the port to a vein. Under the skin, the port has a septum through which drugs can be injected and blood samples can be drawn many times, usually with less discomfort for the patient than a more typical needle stick." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_(medical)
Prayers appreciated for a successful procedure! Will update post-surgery.
