Thursday August 20th
Brooklyn without oxygen tubes, or C-Pap, and only one IV!
Brooklyn's CAT Scan results indicate there are no abnormalties and no indication of bleeding. She will not have any additional CAT Scans. She is doing well and continues to stabilized. We are at home now w/ the girls (Sadie & Mandy) and will be back w/ Brooklyn & Bennett around 8 tonight.
Bennett's CAT Scan showed some slight signs of bleeding in his brain. On a scale of 1-4 with 1 being least significant and 4 being most significant, his results were a 1. It is likely that the bleeding along with Bennett and Brooklyn's other challenges is due in part to being deliverd prior to having fully developed. We will watch him close and expect that the condition will repair itself as he continues to develop and stabilize.
The doctors and nurses a PHX Children's and the doctors/nurses at Banner Good Samaritan have all been incredible, beyond anything and everything we expected. We are blessed and fortunate to having such amazing people all around us and with Brooklyn & Bennett 24/7.
"The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you". - Fredrick Buechner
"He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound]"
