Briggs Elliott Russell or B

My first born. I remember standing in line at the DMV in Orem with Scott seeing his mother's maiden name on his form. Briggs. I said "that's it, that's the babies name" Scott said, "what if it's a girl" I said it wont be, it will be a boy and his name is Briggs. The name fits him so well.
At 36wks pregnant my water broke at 6am. It gushed, like a waterfall. I will never forget the look on Scott's face. We went to the provo hospital and checked into triash. They tested me with the tape and they told me I must have peed my pants. I looked at Scott and we both laughed. We thought we where candid camera. They where ready to send me home a liar when Briggs' heart rate dropped dramatically. They came running in saying that we where having a baby today and that they would have to break my water and induce labor. Later the doctor "tried" to break my water and he looked puzzled and said "huh, I guess your water did break" ya think?! The anesthesia came.....those with weak stomachs, skip this part.....the putossin was hitting strong and I was really nervous that B was stressed. I needed drugs! So the numbing shot went in then the "needle".....I remember her twisting, and hearing my spine crackle, and the pressure! She had to pull the needle out 2 with blood running down my back, she decided I needed to have me sit up and I needed to touch my toes. LOL! Yeah I know- I couldn't even drive my car with B he was a biggin. So the 3rd time was the charm with a huge contraction and the numbing shot long warn off , me in zen mediation, it was finally in.(I am getting sick just thinking of the pain.) (not as bad as natural labor tho) Anyway,about 6 hrs later, March 28th 2000 at 12:46pm, 7lbs 16oz 19in my B was born.
Last Monday I took the kids to the store for a doughnut. Just a normal morning at the store..B was complaining how thirsty he was, I asked him to wait a minute. B fell off the cart (the blue ones where kids can sit on,up high) on his shoulder then flipped his head back, hitting his head, having a seizure. His eyes where open and the seizure lasted for about 15 seconds, it felt longer, then he came to saying he was going to hurl. This nice young lady came over that worked there and asked if I needed anything I asked her for a garbage can. (when everyone else ignored the whole thing)I got him up managed to get him sitting again. We went to get him a drink and I made an appointment with our doc in A.F. B was pale and not talking much. They got us in immediately. Briggs was still really sick to his stomach, dizzy and his head hurt. 3 doctors assessments later they suggested we go to A.F. ER-Just down the street. A nurse helped us over there with baby, Dyly an B. Scott was on his way. Telling the story of his fall a billion times later. They gave him a cat scan. I had to leave the hospital cause the baby was fussy and Dylan is just Dylan. Walking out of the hospital trying to keep my composure, I felt so guilty leaving him with Daddy. By the time I got home Scott called to tell me the results of B's cat scan. Arachnoid cyst on the back left side of his brain. They sent up the results to Primaries to the neurologist. Scott keeping his calm being with B in ER, I lost it. We didn't tell him anything until we went up to primaries the next day and had the neurologist explained it. The doc asked us to come back in 2 days for an MRI to make sure there was no cancer and what his state was, cirtical, or non-critical. He did the MRI w/o sedation. He was so brave. They let him watch a movie. He thought it was awesome! I sat in the room and thaught I was going to be deff. Then he got stressed again when we saw the doc and where talking surgery. He is so upset that he will feal it. The doc said he is not in critical condition like he thaught with the cat scan, but we have to keep a close eye on it and him.
Postirior Fossa Craniotomy; they put a small incision behind his ear and take out a chunk of skull and drain the pocket of fluid and strip the membranes, put the bone back. He would be in the hospital for 4 days and in recovery for 4 weeks. We are going back in 5 wks for another MRI and to see the doc. We have to track his headaches and dizzines. It is about 3in long 1in thik 2in deep. It's seems huge when you see it. It is pushing his brain over to the right. They say he has most likely had it since birth. In the cat scan you can see how the bone grew over the cyst. If you feel the back of his head there is a bump. Poor B has had a whirlwind kind of week. We aren't talking about it around him cause he is having a hard time with it. So when we do talk about it with others we make sure he is not around.
We love our B so much. We are grateful for our friends and family, and for the MRI that helped make things seem less critical. We don't need anything and are making days as normal as possible for him. Thank you for your prayers!
