Pictures from Nana holding

Here are some more photos from yesterday. Look at all the different faces (eyes, eyebrows, grins) of Brinson.

Nana holds Brinson and Good news!

Look at those eyes.... just wide open.

Today we got good news. They are going to try CPAP on this weekend. Yes you read it correctly CPAP. That means Brinson will be breathing on her own but with positive pressure of O2 in her nose....much like a mini hair dryer. Today and Tomorrow she will get a few doses of a steroid to help her airway and lungs heal. They will also be weighing Brinson daily to make sure her nutrition is going well.

Meme holds Brinson!

Meme wasted no time getting settled, she came straight from the plane to hold her granddaughter Brinson. Meme held her for about 40 minutes and loved every minute of it.

Special care from Brooke

You may remember at the beginning of this journey when Brinson had a problem with her gut.

Well it was Brooke who acted quickly and called in a nurse practioner and doctor because she saw something was wrong.

Thanks Brooke for taking extra special care of our Brinson. You are a excellent nurse and we know you will be a great Mommy!!!

Look at those feet!!!

Booties on or off, Brinson loves crossing her legs.
Maybe she is practicing to be a lady?

Those feet are sure cute. If you look at the heel of her right foot you can see where they get blood from her. The blood is used to check her nutrition, blood gas and other standard tests. She usually gets stuck for blood 1 to 2 times a week.

Photos and Videos of Mommy Holding (yesterday)

Look at all the faces of Brinson. Eyebrows up and down.

New formula seems to be working

Well Brinson gained 1.4 oz and now weighs 2lbs. 14.9oz. She is gaining weight again, so the new formula must be working.

She is doing well today on the oxygen, they just made a rate change from 25 to 20bpm. That is good news....she is getting much closer to CPAP....which means breathing on her own.

Meme (Lisa's Mom, Mary) came into today and is visiting with Brinson right now

Brinson gets vaccines

Last night and again 12 hours later today, Brinson is getting her 2 month vaccines. They try to make it as easy on the preemies as possible. They get Tylenol 1/2 hour before

Today besides the vaccines there are no new orders. We did learn that over the last couple of days her dumping is getting better. So the new formula must be working.

I guess we will find out how well it is working from the Nurse practitioner.

Seeing Brinson a whole different way...

Sometimes when parents or grandparents show up the nurse has just flipped Brinson's head to face the wall. And even though she has a beautiful head....it is just not the same.

So Mommy decided a mirror might help. Now you can see Brin either way.

Another trick video!

Here is another video from yesterday. The video speaks for itself.
