Her eyes are no longer fused...yipee!


Lisa was able to get a shot of Brinson without her hat and eye shades. Look at that hair line.

BTW still peeing and lab levels are looking much better. Still waiting on the results of the kidney ultrasound....probably Monday. Halt the pee dancing. Thanks!

When we left this evening, she was resting comfortably. I will have shots of her new hat and ear muffs tomorrow.

Visitors for Brinson

Brinson had 3 Grandparents visit tonight. Everyone is happy about the pee. Brinson is too, so much so.....she was moving around so much that she would de-sat herself. They gave her some morphine to calm her down.

The eight pm diaper was 15cc...yeah!

KD came as well to visit with Lisa....someone to talk to other than me...I know she is excited about that.

Tonight we graciously accepted dinner invitation with the Baldwin's. It was nice to break away and have an adult conversation.

Oh yeah, I wanted to thank the anonymous nurse from the 4th floor that gave me her own bottled water in the elevator. The vending machine was out and she gave me hers. Super nice...and would not let me pay for it.

This place is awesome. I am so glad Brinson is here. I can't image her being anywhere else, except maybe home with us.

Wet diaper already....already!

Well I am not saying all is good but we are on the right track. So in less than 2 hrs and we have a wet diaper.

Thanks to all the PEE dancers!

We have more PEE!

Brinson had some more pee.....16cc to be exact. Excellent progress. Thanks to all the Pee dancers.

We just missed the ultrasound of her kidneys...but since she is peeing they cannot be completely lacking of blood flow.

We expect the results later today.

If Brin continues to pee then her puffy self will go back to normal.

thanks again..more later.

We have 5cc

Brinson gave us some pee, but we still need more. Later today they will do an ultrasound to see if she has good blood flow to her kidneys.

All her other vitals are ok.

We are running out for lunch and an eye appointment....be back later.

Keep praying for PEE!

Morning Folks - still only small pee!

Lisa was awakened this morning by her milk producers. They were yearning to give. She pumped an amazing 129 ml (triple from 2 days ago). Heat really does work, thanks Kim!

Lisa called in this am and Brin has only peed a few drops since 12 midnight. But the good news is maybe her oozing has slowed or stopped. Her blood numbers looked good.

We are headed up to the hospital this am. We have eye appointments mid afternoon....so we need to get an early start.

Pee Dancing is required for all who read this blog!

Thanks to everyone for helping out!

New bunk mates and new hat



Yesterday Brinson got a few new bunk mates. 1 for her first Easter and 1 from the Baldwin family. Thanks guys!

Lisa called at 12 midnight after returning home and Brinson has only peed just a tiny bit....barely measurable. So we need more Pee Prayers......big pee....not little pee.

Besides the pee, everything else is going fine....she is stable, but still critical. Since yesterday she is 1 to 1 with a nurse.

Oh yeah, over the last few days Brin has a gotten a few new hats. In celebration of easter this weekend, she has her bunny hat on. Don't be alarmed with how she looks....she is puffy from all the fluids. But she is still her same wiggly self.





Take at look at my thumb against her foot. Even with all the fluids and 10 days behind her, she is still small. Life is Amazing!

Still waiting for....

Yes you guessed.....still no pee. Otherwise she is doing pretty good.

Brinson had a few visitors today, a few L&D nurses and Dr G. I think Nana is planning a visit as well.

We are headed for dinner and to get a little break.

Oh yeah the saran wrap is gone....she is able to hold her temp without it. She is also moving around quite a bit more....including her mouth, hands and feet.

Pray for pee.

We arrive this morning to a much pinker Brinson and to good results on the brain scan.....but.

We asked the doctor where we are and Brinson is in kidney failure. She needs to pee to release all the bad stuff. The next 24 hours will be critical for her.

So even though everything is going well with regards to brainscan and holding good pressure and heart rate....not peeing is bad.

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers to help her pee.

Quiet night!

We all finally have a quiet night. Lisa and I slept all the way through the night and that goodness no phone calls. Brinson as well had a nice quiet night. She is still critical but stable (still mainting bp and pulse without any medicine....good girl).

They did get a brain scan early this morning so we should have the results later today.

Also she is still not peeing as much as they would like to see....I suspect something will happen later today to address this issue.
