Team Brayden - Part 2

We got our Team Brayden tee's in!

The front says "Team Brayden, Phillipians 4:13" and has the ACH logo on it:


The back says "TEAM BRAYDEN PRAYER WARRIORS" and has the verse printed on it:

Today they let me give Brayden his bottle...but he was seriously mad after having his lung treatment and being moved around and he refused to eat it:
Here is a pic of Brayden with his tee:
Overall today was a very good day for Brayden...he just no longer has an interest in taking his bottle. The nurse said that babies who have had PPHN normally take awhile to get used to the bottle. The good thing is that he is properly digesting all of his food and being able to take all of his feedings. Tomorrow he should be off all meds and off his nasal oxygen tube. His nurse practitioner predicted that he would be here about 5 more days...mainly our obstacle now is feedings.

Many of you have asked for an address where you can send things...We really, truly do not need anything and it is so very sweet of you to ask. However, if you would like to send Brayden an email (it goes through the hospital) you can do so here :

If you would like to make a donation to ACH in Brayden's honor (it would benefit the ACH Foundation, and the many families who need your support) you can find information on how to go about that here: http://www.archildrens.org/foundation/how_help/memorial_honor.asp

They will send Brayden a card letting him know that you have given in his honor.

We've received so many kind emails and we have them all printed for Brayden's baby book so that we can show him when he is older how many people (that both do and do not know him) his life touched and how many sent up prayers on his behalf. It is so, so special to us and we want him to be able to see and understand what a life changing time this has been...not just because of his illness but because of how many people - people that we don't even know - have cared enough about us to pray for his recovery and what a difference they have made in all of our lives.

Tonight I was thinking about a lot of the families that we sit in the waiting room with everyday. Some of them have babies who have been and continue to be much, much sicker than Brayden was. Some of them have already been here for 3, 4, 5+ months. Some sleep every night in the waiting room. Being a parent of a NICU baby is hard enough, but I can't imagine going through what some of them go through, and I ask you to remember all of the NICU parents in your prayers tonight.

Thank you for all you've done for us. We appreciate you so much!
