Just thought I'd forward this to you. Briley is doing well. Jens and I went to Ogden last night to see her since she is off the venitator. I can't believe how big she is growing even though she still is so small. She truly is amazing and a miracle. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers in her behalf and putting their names in the temple. We have been greatly blessed.
Love,
Carolyn
| Hi, Yesterday Briley was able to get off of the ventilator!!! She was put on a machine called a C-Pack that helps keep pressure in her lungs and gives her extra oxygen, but makes her have to take her own breaths. The last few days she has also been able to tolerate full feedings which has led to the IV's being taken out. Heather was really excited one evening when she logged on to the webcam because her little girl was no longer naked. With the IV's out Briley has started wearing little pajammas. The last week has been continual good news with the progress Briley is making. Wednesday she weighed 3 pounds 11 ounces. She is starting to fill out and looks more and more like a normal baby each day. We still don't have any idea when she will come home, but each day is one more closer. Love, Derek, Heather, Laramie, and Briley |
