Very Brief Update

It’s been a busy few days, but I wanted to give a quick update.

First, Gloriana did NOT need a blood transfusion. =) Her blood counts were good enough that she didn’t need it, and she is producing the amount of blood that she should back into her system.  Thanks for your prayers, and praise God that that’s all working out well!

Second, Gloriana has been struggling with Bradycardias every day – I explained what those are here.  They seem to only happen once a day and while she’s eating; this makes the doctors think that it’s a problem that has to do with coordinating her sucking, swallowing, and breathing.  This simply means that when she eats, she forgets to breathe, which causes a drop in her heart rate.  It hasn’t happened since Sunday; if she can go five days without one, they believe she will have outgrown them.  So our new prayer request is that she won’t have any more Bradys, so that she will be able to come home this Friday.

Thanks for your prayers – we can’t wait for all of us to be home!

So glad to hear that Gloriana didn't need a transfusion. We'll be praying that she outgrows the 'bradys.'
Love,
