Hey everybody. Just thought I would update the blog for everybody to know what's going on. I got a call last night from a doc at the hospital and they told us Aven's blood pressure was really low and had been all day. The doctor told us that she wasn't responding to any medications and asked how far away we were. Needless to say, when you hear a doctor ask you to come to the hospital it really freaks you out. Brandy and I left immediately after the phone call and headed straight towards the hospital in Denver.
The trip down there was very nerve-racking and full of confused emotions. You can't help but think the worst when your kids are on the line. Brandy and I got there and my parents arrived about 15 minutes later. Aven was on a dopamine drip and now a constant epinephrine drip as well, not good. My dad and brother in law Chris gave her a name and a blessing for the sick. Her blood pressure immediately went back up into a more desired range and stayed there all night and into this morning.
When Brandy and I woke up from sleeping at the hospital her numbers were looking great! How marvelous a feeling to have your baby doing so much better from modern medicine and the power of prayer. The doctors know that she has an infection and now we are just waiting to hear back from them as to where and what type it is. We have been checking in with her nurses all day and our precious baby girl is doing great, thanks for everything that everybody has done in this time of confusion and heartbreak for us.
In Isis news, we think he is suffering from some sibling rivalry... already. So a few days ago we bought him some new toys. One of them is a remote-controlled indoor helicopter. Isis and daddy have a balst playing with it and it is a good tool to use to teach him patience, yeah right, and sharing since daddy thinks it is just as cool as Isis. Here is a video to show what Isis and daddy do during flight time, enjoy:
