Another rough night for Brian ... around 2:30 am he became very, very dizzy and started vomiting. They gave him some meds and applied cold packs and he now seems to be doing better. The nurse told us that it is not uncommon for that to happen and actually said he is doing awesome. She followed up by saying ... you did just have brain surgery! They've noticed that he is walking much steadier and moving quicker as well as they noticed his left hand seems to be doing better at grabbing pills, etc. He has a little more control. We're hoping after hearing that from the nurse that he can sleep a little better. One day at a time and a lot of prayers, please.

Brian had another bout of vomiting around 7:40 am so they sent a neurology team in to exam him. So far they think it could be the anesthesia that's still working its way out of his system. He seems a little better now … has eaten some crackers and drank some apple juice. He continues to make us laugh.
7:30 pm
Sorry for the lack of communication this afternoon … not a whole lot going on. Brian is still not feeling that great. They put him back on an I.V. because they were worried about dehydration. We're really hoping he starts to feel better so we can all go home. Please continue to pray for us. All our love!

Went to Mass this morning AND lit a candle!!! I'm sure God is in awe at all the prayers being offered up for our Brian. Love to you all, Auntie
Now there's perspective..."you did just have brain surgery." You guys have handled this with so much courage and grace it's unbelievable. Hope Brian has better days than his nights have been. And hope you all can rest and know that so many of us are sending prayers your way!

Throwing up is a good thing!!! Your bodies getting rid of all the anesthesia toxicities that can make you weak & dizzy. Now you can gain some strength. You needed to expel that. Good job Brian. Sending prayers and healing. ;)

Yes!! It's such a horrible feeling but he is Getting rid off all those toxicities from anesthesia ---- now he starts to heal and will feel better after he gets hydrated again. I saw what he had for lunch yesterday -he did clean out the cafeteria , I'm not surprised..lol One day at a time. He's also probably going through withdrawals from missing his Amelia 😍😍😍😍😍😍. 5 more days!! Hang in there beams ! Prayers continue from all over
We are all praying constantly and I hope he feels better soon!! As you know better than anyone how awful it feels to be nauseous and vomiting ☹️ It has to really be bad for him as he loves to eat so much!!! That is not like you!! How did he inherit that from me??!!😉. Love you all and hope the nausea goes away right now!!
Praying that he will feel better soon. At least the anti nausea meds can be given IV along with the fluids to help him feel better. Hope it will soon pass and you will be home soon
I hope brain will feel butter soon.
We are all praying very hard for him. I had a talk with the man upstairs this morning and asked him to make Brian well soon! Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
