10:30pm Update






The day has come to an end for us. Brycen had an excellent day. We can't say enough how blessed we are that that ONE nurse caught the murmur in Springdale. If we didn't know about that we would be at home with a boy who looks perfectly healthy. Brycen's vital signs and blood tests continue to be off the charts. We are blessed to have caught this condition this early.




Brycen had an emotional afternoon. Before we left for dinner, he was starting to realize that he hasn't eaten in over two days and was starting to cry quite a bit. Mommy and daddy can't stand to see him cry right now because we're not allowed to pick him up. So, we left for dinner on a down note emotionally. HOWEVER.....we returned to the hospital at 8:00 to find Brycen eyes wide open!! He was sucking away on a pacifier and even had his feet kicked up on his support roll. We left the hospital at 10:00 because we need to get our rest and Brycen had a great headstart on us. He was zonked out and peaceful as could be.


Once again, thank you all for all your support and for your prayers. Obviously this has been a roller coaster ride of emotions for us, but we promise you we are taking time for eating and sleeping. Keep the prayer chains rolling!!



Here are some pics (I hope).

I continue to check the blog every few hours for an update. Brycen is so lucky to have such AMAZING parents. The strength you are both displaying is phenominal. We pray for each of you multiple times during the day. Cooper wants you to tell Brycen to get better soon. I told him there is a playdate coming VERY soon!
Love you-Dana Daniel
