Getting Better

Today, Brady is 25 weeks. Baby Brady had a great night, his vitals stayed stable all night and they continued to ween him from the ventilator, he is down to 25 from 100 when he was first in the NICU. They have also reduced his blood pressure medicine during the night. If he does well today, he will get his first bath this evening.

Karissa woke this morning with a 102.5 fever and she is now back on antibiotics. Dr. Silva thinks it is from the membrane break on Tuesday.

I will continue to update with information later today.

Thanks for all the support and prayers.

He's a fighter

Brady has had a great day so far. They are lowering his vent settings down and he is tolerating it very well. Blood Pressure is staying just where they want it.
Karissa is doing awesome!!! She has been up walking and been able to go to the NICU twice already. She is tolerating the pain very well. Planned discharge date for Karissa is on Monday.
They have her pumping ,as breast milk is best especially for preemie's. He will not be fed anything for 7 days but she will have it ready for him as soon as he is ready.
Please continue to keep them in your prayers. They are working!!

Brady had a very rough night. Around 1:00am Dr. Wimmer (Neo-natologist)came to Karissa's room and told us he was having a difficult time getting Brady's blood pressure and oxygen levels stable and he was in critical condition. They kept working on him for about 3 1/2 hours non-stop and were finally able to get his blood pressure and oxygen level stable. Brady has had to be sedated again (I hope not another Delaney) he just keep trying to pull out the tubes in his mouth. He is resting comfortably and vitals look good!!

I will try to keep this updated, been up all night but good to go with the double shot of Starbucks !!
