Three Weeks Old

Brentt is three weeks old today! He is doing well. He is 7lbs 4 ounces and 21 3/4 inches long. He is a very good baby and fun to have around. Here is his "thinker" picture.

We had a fun time on Tuesday, July 14th. We had a Family Barbeque at our house with Leslie, Carl, Corrine, Brielle, Aria, Cristiana, Peter, Ben, Jack, Brad, Tirza, Owen, Bryan, Tricia, Brentt, Grandma, Soren, DJ, Lisa, Gabe, Alayna and... oh yeah, Connie and Bruce.

I was thinking if we got the whole family together with all the new additions I don't think our house would work!!!

It was a nice time, I hope for all, we enjoyed having the family around and it was so good to see Cristiana and the boys again!

Thank you Cristiana and Tirza for the help on my blog site!

If this works all will be well!

Happy Birthday!

Brentt is a week old today. It is sad having to see him in the NICU but we are happy to report that he is breathing on his own and now they are working on gradually getting him to eat 2 ounces. Once he is feeding regularly, and keeping his body temperature up we should be able to bring him home. I am hoping by Monday if all continues to go well!

Thanks for the prayers and concern!

Getting Better

Day two at St Mary's NICU: Brentt is able to suck his pacifier and Tricia was able to bottle feed him 10 cc's. As of 8AM this morning he was breathing on his own. Tricia is visiting him now. We will let everyone know when he is able to come home!

Update

Brentt is still in the hospital. I was able to hold him tonight for about forty-five minutes. He still is not breathing very well. I would like Tricia to get a second opinion because I am not at all impressed by our hospital, so I am hoping she will do something tomorrow. I am trying to back off and allow her to be the mommy, it is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. They tried to bottle feed him tonight because he pulled his gavage tube out of his throat! He is stubborn like his parents good luck to them all!

Tricia is planning on keeping this baby. She is on a waiting list for an apartment. For now, she will be staying with us. Please continue praying for Brentt's health and for them to get a home!

Love to all!

I will try to get some more pictures after work tomorrow but it is very sad because he is hooked up to a lot of different equipment. Maybe he will have a turn for the better tonight and his pictures won't be so sad. He did have a blessing yesterday!
