I realize today more than any other day how much god listens to us! I have realized how many of the little things I take for granted instead of nourishing the blessings he is giving me! So many people have been praying for Bryn over the last week. Well, our prayers are being answered. Yesterday the doctor came in and told us that the cause for infection is Pnemonia and they would keep checking her chest xrays to make sure it was getting better. They decided to take her off of the ventilator today as long as her xrays were showing that the pnemonia was not worsening. Well, this morning Bryn came off of the ventilator, and is doing great!
This afternoon the doctor came into our room for an update and with a very puzzled look on his face and with a very thick accent he said "yesterday she have pnemonia, today infection gone????" It was like he couldn't believe what he was saying. He was just looking for improvement of the xray but what he found was a miracle... or was it... I think that would make anyone a believer in the power of prayer! He said "this morning she was a ventilator baby, this afternoon she is being held and doing great!" She is definately a fighter! We are so blessed to have all of the wonderful family and friends in our lives to help us pray for our little miracle. You all are the best! I will be praying for all of you!
All of her other stats are doing great. Her lungs have completely matured, and her infection is gone. She is still a little bit jaundice, not digesting her food very well and she is a little bit anemic from them taking so many blood samples but these are just small hurdles compared to what she has accomplished over the past 6 days! Tomorrow she will be one week old! I can't believe it! She will get a bath in the morning and be able to go to a crib instead of the warming bed! It will be nice to see her in a real newborn bed and not sprawled out on the warming bed!!
I will post an update tomorrow with some more good news!!
