We have lots of news from the past week! It’s always a roller coaster ride in the NICU. Good and bad, ups and downs, but always there is light and a reason for praise.
Kambry has had the most ups and downs this week. Early in the week she had all of the leveling issues that were fixed with her specialized IV nutrition. She got to meet a surgeon on Monday who determined that she would need the 7 days of no feeds to give her belly plenty of time to rest. We weren’t happy but knew that it was what was best for her. Thursday she started having some urine output issues and the NP started Dopamine. It didn’t help as much as needed, so yesterday she got her first blood transfusion in Jackson.
The biggest excitement this week is that Mommy AND Daddy got to hold Brooklynn on Friday night! We were ecstatic!! To tell the story right, I have to give the details….When we got to the NICU Friday afternoon we had a huge surprise. Brooklynn was on non-invasive assistive breathing-that’s the only way I know how to describe it….my nursing friends may cringe 😉 She was no longer intubated and just had a nasal cannula assisting her. We have been waiting so long for this, because we knew that this was the key to us being allowed to really hold our girl.
We are praying for you all. I know it was wonderful to hold that precious bundle of joy for the first time. Please take care of yourselves you will need all the strengths you can find with those little angels 👼. Let me know if you need anything 💕🙏
What a blessing!! I know y’all were beaming with pride! The lord is still at work and our prayers are being lifted up!
I am so happy for you! We are praying for you and love you guys!
Dear Richard &Amy, We are so blessed to be a part of all that’s going on with your little angels, Brooklyn & Kamry. We’re also very privileged & blessed to be able to serve An awesome Loving Lord. He is our Almighty Lord & Savior. We thank Him everyday for hearing our prayers, for His love, His grace, and His never ending promises. His love for His children is never ending, His love is a hedge around them at all times! All our churches continue to pray for you & the girls.
