Quick Update

I've been meaning to put an update on here for a while but as I'm sitting at work waiting for the a few more files to export I thought I'd let you know the few details we know about Brynne.

1. She's doing sooooo much better. No vomiting in 10 days, that's a record!
2. One of the tests showed she hasn't built up an immunity to tetanus, but she's gets another dose at 6 months and we'll watch it from then on to see how it goes.
3. Two of her immune levels are lower than normal but not low enough to cause concern, we'll just have to watch those too.

It's crazy busy at work, but always is this time of year. Koda's doing great and is growing like crazy. I can't believe he'll be 4 in a couple of months!!!!

Please pray for the following:
1. My PawPaw, he had a pace maker put it and its not working quite right
2. My mom, she's headed out on her yearly trip to Uraguay for a mission trip
3. My friends Trisha & Kevin, Kevin's dad passed away yesterday unexpectedly

Love y'all!!!

Brynne Update

So we're in the hospital again. We came in Saturday night to the ER because she was vomiting, etc and seemed to be doing the same as she did before we came in March. We had a cookout at our house on Saturday and left both sides of the family to clean up the mess...sorry guys!

So the main question is...What's going on? Well, we don't know. We do know that she does not have cystic fibrosis. THANK YOU LORD! Our pediatrician and gi specialist are working well together and have brought in an immunologist. He had decided to run A LOT of tests, mostly blood tests. So she's been stuck a few times but if we can find out what's causing all this it'll be worth it. On Friday, she will have an upper & lower gi and they will biopsy the intestines to see if MAYBE there's something in there that's causing all the fun stuff. Most of the other test results should be back today.

She's in a great mood and smiles alot! They took her off IV fluids to see if she can maintain her weight and hydration levels on her own. Please pray that she does.

Please pray for our doctors, nurses, technicians, etc...they're trying to figure it out and have been really really good to us.

Also, please add Claire Gill to your prayer list...she's 7 weeks old and has been our next door neighbor for the last couple of days. It's a small world because I used to work with her mother!

Thank you all for all your prayers, calls, meals, cards, emails...EVERYTHING! We are truly blessed and love you all.
