Longest Week Ever!


As you all know, our little angel, Brooklyn Paige arrived on April 9th 2009. From the moment she was born we have not been able to hold her. :( She had to be immediately rushed to the newborn intensive care unit for surgery. After a long week of Brooklyn being on the ventalater, pain medication, and her stomach trying to heal; we were finally able to hold our baby girl a week after delivery! It was amazing, the best feeling ever! She is doing better and better everyday. We don't know how long we will be at the hospital for, but now that we can hold her we can be much more patient. She hasn't started taking milk yet, but hopefully soon. For now she is being fed introveiniously (tube fed).Thanks for all of your prayers and support.

  6. I'm so glad that the baby is doing well, and that you finally got to hold your little girl! I don't know if i would be patient enough to wait to hold my baby. So, how much longer do you think until you come back up with the baby??
