update.....

I am off the Mag so now I can see and functions somewhat of a normal person! Brynlee is here and so so tiny! I can't hold her yet but I got to pick up her head today and hold her head in my hand! SHe is doing good they tell me and was taken off the cpap ventilator this morning and now I can see more of what she looks like. One of the veins in her little arm ruptured last night and the meds seeped under the skin in her little arm so now that forarm looks kinda like popeye!!! she is jondice and needs special little rockstar glasses while they have the lights on her! I might get to hold her tonight but there are no guarentees but we are crossing our fingers!!
I am doing good and was taken off the magnisum and blood pressure stayed good my plateletts are a little on the low side but said that with good bloodpressure they can handle that! I hope to post pics soon so all of you can see her. Brian said he would post them when he got home! I will be staying in Mesa for the 2 to 3 weeks that she has to stay so I can help supplement her and have one on one contact with her which they say is vital right now!!!!
I miss my kids terribly but know they are in good hands with my awesome motherinlaw and that helps me be able to focus on Brynlee's needs as well as my own. Sleep,pumpand drink water are my orders right now and they don't want me doing much else! but I can't tell you how much better I feel right now! I hope to have pics soon....love to all

Hey Tif
I am so glad you and Brynlee are doing good! Brian sent us pictures and she is beautiful! Don't even worry about your kids every one is helping out!
Take care and we will see you and Bryn when you get home.

Oh my crazy GOODNESS, Tif, I had NO idea that you had Brynlee already!!! I'm so glad everyone is okay - we can't wait to see pics of your new beauty! And I hope you're doing okay - what a roller coaster to be on, but you're a tough cookie and you've got some seriously amazing family. We're keeping you guys in our prayers - I hope you get to bring Brynlee home soon!

I've been wondering about the update! Glad you are starting to feel back to normal. Hope Brynlee grows fast and obeys the rules so you can both go home healthy and fast. Hang in there!
Happy Birthday tomorrow:)

So glad to get these updates from you and Christi. We love you and wish you both a speedy get home wish! I was showing her off while I was in line last night at Young Ambassadors! She sure reminds me of Cambry and she is a doll!

Tif, you are AMAZING!!!!!!! I'm so glad you are able to stay in Mesa with her. And I'm SOOOOOOOOOO glad you are pumping! I am a HUGE advocate for breastfeeding! I'm so glad for Brynlee that you are still pushing for that, and you. I LOVED nursing Ryan. I still really miss that time with him. Hopefully you will still have that oppertunity (sp) with her. Don't give up! And hang in there. I know it's easier said then done. We are all praying for her and you. Every family prayer, Jesse or I pray out loud for you all. Last night I was helping Ryan say his own prayers. I always say a few things and have him repeat me, then say, "is there anything else you want to say or express to Heavenly Father?" Last night he said, "yes. Bess Binlee." It honestly melted my cold heart and put tears in my eyes. We are all praying for you and things will get better. We love you Tif!
