Update:
Ever hear the saying "bad days make the good days better, tVp." Well we are going to have days that are not as great as the last and won't be the worst either. Hopefully we are way past the worst days. But it's ok to have not so glamorous ones.
Today is one of those days that's just "bleh". It's not terrible but we've had a few better. And if we don't tell you about the bad, then you won't know what to pray for. They can't all be good, that's OK, it's part of the journey.....
Jacee has stormed today. Heart rate and temperature has been sporadic with ups and downs and a lot of "ish's". So today she had another chest X-ray and it still showed the infection pocket around her lung and another CAT scan was done. The verdict is~ they have to go in (surgically) and scrape out the "orange peel" type material that's formed. The pockets of thin pus have now turned into a more gelatinous state, which then turned into a thicker material (like an orange peel) around/on a part of her lung. So if u think of the smooth lining that allows the lungs to move in and out smoothly. Yeah, not happening on that one side. When you have an area that is full of thick infection they sometimes have to go in and scrape that out! (When it gets to this stage of an orange peel texture) We think this is actually great news. NOW we know what's up and how to FIX it. This will allow her lung to EXPAND all the way and work properly. The Dr. has advised that the infection IS under CONTROL. We just need to get this cleared up so her lung (one side) can inflate and deflate normally. This patch of rough area isn't allowing the lung to work correctly. It's always nice to have a direction or a path to go along. We now have that path for tomorrow.
Now to a little good news. The CAT scan on the brain showed it appearing in a more normal state. Instead of it looking swollen and hard to see the crinkled lines of the lobes. They were shown the scan today and they can now start to see definition of lines(lobes). it's looking more normal in other words. Swelling decreased.
We will update in the AM as soon as we know how surgery went. But please pray for smooth sailing, a swift procedure, steady hands, and calmed hearts! ??????????????. We hope they kick this infections butt in the morning????. At least get a good running start at it.
Please continue to pray for endurance and strength for the family! Healing for our Brantley kids. #brantleystrong.
Our Hearts and prayers go out to the Orlando families as well tonight.
Brett is continuing to HEAL! And they are trying to pull him off of more and more things(not sure of exact "things" but I'll leave it right there and accept that's it's forward motion). So this is very reassuring! ??????????.
Thanks be to GOD and our friends and family.....aka.....village!!

| This was an update from the Prayers for Jacee Beth Thomas facebook page that was posted yesterday. They normally post a updated every other day if not more.

Update:
Well we mixed it up a little today! She had some rest with a drizzle of storms. Nothing major, but what is kinda cool is that they have started the weaning process of a few medications. This may possibly cause a small storm here or there due to her being so sensitive to changes, but that's why they are taking it very slowly. BA feels like we are still gaining ground..
Their tech has been amazing, her name is Folly and she calls John "papa John"??.
Jacee's been more "aroused" today. NOT to be confused with awake! But meaning eye opening, more facial expressions, and moving her body around. No she's not talking or tracking with her eyes "yet". We hope after the Baclofen pump is placed we can begin to get her off more of the medications that can cause her to be more sleepy.
Today Beth had visitors from Ocala, Fl. -Beth and Clayton Keith and they had a beautiful visit. Jacee was storming a little at the time but they were still able have a nice visit. More family is coming tomorrow and also John will be back. He's been working hard in the hay fields and they have LOADS of hay!
Beth has been OVERWHELMED with support. People haven't just said they will be there, but have STOOD by the family and shown love and support. It's taught her that people really do stand by each other.
THANKYOU all so much! ??????
Beth Ann also wants to put a SPECIAL prayer request for some family and friends that are going through a very tough/trying time and they need prayers for comfort.??????
Thanks be to GOD and our friends and family.....aka.....village!!
