A day in the life of Bryce!

Yea!!! Bryce is on the mend!!!!!!. He has actually been enjoying his day. He has watched his new movie "Hannah Montanna 3D movie" over and over and over! He LOVES it! We are trying to wean him off of some of his pain medication. He gets a little too groggy and just doesn't seem to act like himself. He has loved seeing all of his visitors and keeps asking when "RILEY" is coming. He LOVES Riley!!! The cast is due to come off on Oct. 10., and we are counting down the days already. He is such a trooper and just goes with the flow.
As for Emily, she has had some very long days this week, but seems to be really liking her new school. She has already been named the "tetherball QUEEN". I guess she beat everyone in her class???? She said "just wait till they see me play basketbal" OMG! (she not competitive or anything!)
Again, thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers
Love
Marci

Today was a GREAT day! Bryce came home around 3:30 this afternoon and has been smiling ever since. Nannie Becky had the living room all set up for his arrival with his favorite DVD'S in place.

Our family would to thank all of you for your prayers and support! They were greatly appreciated.

We would also like to give the Cruson family a special thanks for keeping our friends and family updated. We are very lucky to have such wonderful friends. Bryce is taking good care of Riley's horse. He loves it :)

Welcome Home Bryce!

God is so good! Bryce is on his way home from the hospital today! Grinning ear to ear!

A little ray of sunshine!

Bryce has had a better day. He was able to eat a little today and has acted as though he feels a bit better. He still has an IV and has not been out of bed yet, therefore a discharge to home tomorrow is probably not in the plan.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be a SUPER better day for him!

Rough Day for Bryce...

Bryce has had a really rough day today. The epidural that was in and giving him medicine to help with the pain was removed this morning and they started giving him the pain medicine by mouth. He began having an allergic reaction to what they thought was the pain medicine and switched him to another kind. It turns out that the reaction was possibly from the muscle relaxant that he was also taking. He had a second reaction tonight after another dose of that particular medicine was given. Now they are trying to find something that makes him comfortable and that his body can handle. He is not eating or drinking and has had to have his IV restarted. He is sleeping most of the time, but when he is awake he is crying.

Please continue to pray for healing and comfort for him. Strength, courage, and endurance for Marti, Marci, Shayna, Emily and their grandparents. Wisdom for the Drs. and nurses who are over his care.

The Unger family appreciates and are so thankful for all of the calls and prayers from everyone! He had alot of friends to love on him today and cheer him on! WE LOVE YOU BRYCE!

Post-Op Day 1......

The doctor just paid a visit to Bryce and said that he is doing great! Bryce says, "He's HUNGRY!" Great news on this first day after surgery!

Please continue to pray that each day brings good news & more strength for sweet Bryce and his family!

Surgery a Success!

Bryce came out of surgery about 12:30pm this afternoon. Mom reports that they did 4 surgeries altogether, removing hardware, replacing, releasing, and then the building/bone grafting of the hip. He did great, but did wake up with alot of muscle spasms and WAS NOT HAPPY! Mom quickly set the Dr's and nurses straight (Go Marci!) and he is now resting comfortably in his big blue cast, smiling, and even giving an occasional "I love you" sign! We love YOU Bryce! Everyone is cheering for you!!!

Bryce is in Surgery.

Bryce is in surgery now, they estimate him to be in for about 3 hours. Mom said he slept good last night and did well this morning!
Keep those prayers coming!
