For The first time since April 25th Brynn finally got to hold her little one again! What an exciting day for our family, we have waited and waited for a chance to hold him in our arms again, and were very grateful that it happened this day. We came to the hospital at 8:00 this morning, and they decided to pull out the chest tubes, and also to cut out the stitches in his chest. He is making so much progress now and we are so hopeful! We also found out last night that he had moved to a different room in the PICU so he could be paired with another patient, and we also learned that they had removed his ART line (The line they would draw blood from to check his blood gases). He just looks so amazing to us, we feel so blessed to have such beautiful kids.As usual dad slacked on this occasion to even get mom as much as a card, but I hope being able to hold Alex again made up for me being a slacker dad. Even though I didn't do the card thing I hope Brynn knows that I love her and am so thankful to have her as the mother of my children, and my best friend. Thanks Brynn for being such a great mom, Ryleigh, Alex, and Me all love you and are happy to be able to call you MOM. Love Jeff, Ryleigh, & Alex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for keeping us updated, We're glad things are so well on mother's day for you guys. Stay strong and enjoy your blessing this special day. Someone told us once going through Brinley's heart repairs, "That a true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your HEART". We hope and pray that Alex will get to come home soon.

what a wonderful mother's day present to get to hold your little guy. He looks good and looks like he's getting bigger. I am so glad he's progressing so well. What a little fighter!! We love you guys.

Tears here also, I'm sure your soul was just aching to hold litte Alex. I remember feeling that way when Brennan had his surgeries. Congratulations, keep up the good work Alex, we love you! Love the Brown's
I'm so happy for you!!! I know how happy I was when I finally got to hold Carson, and it was a much shorter time than you have waited. I'm so happy for you, I hope he can stay in your arms all day!!
