The following was 1:41 AM and 3:13 AM:
He’s out of surgery
Everything went really good
They said the tubing was clogged up which was expected so they put new tubing in and a new valve
which will regulate his fluid a lot better. They said as long as he does good we can come home tomorrow.
At 3:13 AM he requested some chips, skittles and orange juice
THANK YOU for your prayers so far and continued prayers for future.
9:51 PM. Brantley going to surgery in the next 30 minutes. He has thrown up 10 plus times today. Unknown why but shunt not draining properly. They will replace part or all of it. The tunnel in his brain is already there so will not have to do a new tunnel. If they do not do it right away could be fatal.
UPDATE ON BRANTLEY BRADLEY: 7:39 PM. Brantley, his mom and stepdad – Emily and Josh Fails, and his dad – Mike Bradley, have all just arrived at Children’s Hospital in Birmingham.
Emily, Josh and Brantley had a blow out north of Troy. Josh put the donut tire on and returned to Troy where Jim Whaley Tires put a new tire on.
Emily said Brantley slept most all of the way except one time when he woke up to throw up. Makes about the 9th time today.
Flowers Hospital in Dothan did a great job in doing the scans for Children Hospital and confirming shunt issues as the root of the problem.
Also thank you to Dr. Fred Pich who saved Brantley’s life several years ago and Mark Reynolds who several years ago flew Brantley to Children’s.
Waiting to see what doctors say. In April they went into the back of Brantley’s head and made adjustments on the shunt. Prayerfully it will not be anything major.
THANK YOU for your prayers. Thank you to Jeff Brannon for checking on us.
