Little Brady Faith

I couldn’t resist posting these pictures tonight. I was playing with Brady before dinner and got some great expressions from her. She is such a cutie! I didn’t want to run and get a “real” camera and risk losing these adorable expressions so I just took a few shots with the crappy camera built into my phone. Either way…

Erik put some new pictures of Brady up tonight. I hope each and every one of you will enjoy looking at them. She continues to grow and do well. If only we could get her satisfied when it comes to food. The little girl who wouldn’t take a bottle a week before she cam home can’t get enough now. She is such a different baby.

We finally have an internet connection at our new home. This week we will be putting up some new pictures and a video possibly. Life sure has been crazy with Brady home and moving at the same time. We’re all doing well and learning to adjust.

Check back soon!

Right now I am sitting in a hospital room very close to a nursery where Brady was for about a month. Instead of being in the the NICN or ISN we are now in the PSU because Brady had to have hernia’s repaired. 

We are sorry we haven’t been able to update or add pictures, but like Erik said in a previous post we are internetless. We are also cableless but that doesn’t affect the blog, just my sanity at home Hopefully we’ll be up an running soon so we can update everyone on the wonderful and funny things we experience with Brady.

We still don’t have internet access at home. Hopefully Comcast will decide they want our patronage and make their way out to our house. I just wanted to update everyone. We’ll be back one day!

Hey everyone. I just wanted to give a really quick update on how things are going. We’ve been home from the hospital for 10 days now and boy have those days been interesting! We moved from our apartment into a house last Saturay and boy is it nice to have an extra 500 square feet! The downside to our move as of now is that we have no internet connection. Comcast has yet to make their way out to get us all setup. Once we’re up and running we will get some new photos and videos up so everyone can see Brady at home!

Thanks again for all of the prayers and support!

I am sure many of you have been anticipating our first blog from home. Well, here it is. My child is wonderful, sweet, and incredibly fussy. The nurses TRIED to warn us about her little (big) personality, but Erik and I never realized how strong willed she really was, but before I get to that I would like to tell you about our last 2 days before Brady came home.

We just spoke with the doctor and we will be heading home with our beautiful little girl this morning. I just wanted to update everyone and share the awesome news. We will update again sometime today with more details

Wow, I am almost speechless right now. I went to the hospital today as I normally do at 11:30. When I got there I could hear her crying from the waiting area. I thought it sounded like her, but I didn’t realize I would be able to recognize her crying. Well she was hungry, and when Brady gets hungry she gets mad. Read the rest of this entry »

well, brady is normal in all her anatomical glory. Her upper GI told us she was normal as well as her brain scan. She had the upper GI on Friday and b/c of this she was not able to eat at 2 o’clock. We got back to the NICN right in time for her 5 o’clock feeding and her nurse decided to try a bottle on her. She sucked it down in about 5 minutes.

We talked to a surgeon and he said he wasn’t convinced about the surgery for her esophagus, but that unless she showed dramatic improvement with her bottles then she would need the g-tube surgery. Well, little miss Brady has shown dramatic improvement. The little baby who refused to take more than one or 2 bottles a day is now taking 3 and 4 bottles in a row. 

I feel like the minute we turned to God and said ok, it looks like we need the surgery He showed us that he can turn anything around.  She is a different baby when it comes to bottles. She took 5 bottles yesterday and drained almost all of them.  Since Brady has done so well her doctors have made the surgeons go away. They are giving her this week to pick up where she needs to be. I am sure by this weekend we will have a good idea of when she will be home.

So, thanks so much for your prayers. It’s so obvious that God is amazing and I hope you all can see that in Brady’s life.
