Brady

According to Urban Dictionary, to Brady is "to leave a social situation without saying goodbye or letting others know you are leaving. A sneaky exit". For those not up on their popular culture, handsome quarterback Tom Brady left his pregnant girlfriend and ran off with Brazillian supermodel Gisele Bunchen (and, allegedly, didn't do so very nicely). In The NICU, to Brady is to have your heart rate drop significantly (feel free to Google the definitions of significantly!). It sets off an alarm, of course, and, although it was initially scary, we have rather got used to it because they are almost always self correcting with our boys. Back in December, Charlie had a bad run of bradycardia events that didn't self correct and it was a bit of a worry. Later in the day on Saturday, Charlie "had a Brady" and we let the worry monster come round for a cup of tea and a chat. 

You see, to Brady can be nothing or something and the boys have a big week ahead. If we need to change or postpone the plan, that's fine, but it will only be because it's something. And if it's something, that's something we don't want. 

In other new, for reasons I can't understand, Charlie and Henry both seem to quite like the terrifying creature that now hovers above them;
