Today has been a quite day in NICU at Children's Hospital. Bentley sleeps soundly with the help of morphine. Her little body is recovering well from surgery. Next Friday is a very big day for us. She is scheduled to have a barium swallow to check out her esophagus. If all is well they will remove the chest tube and begin to have liquids by mouth. This is awesome considering the only thing that she has had by mouth is barium.
Tomorrow, she will have a MRI to see what's going on with all of her very unique anatomy. They will key in on her aortic arch and determine what type of vascular ring she has. We are anxious to find out the results.
I can't wait to hear my baby girl cry. I can't wait to see her eyes open. I can't wait to hold her. It's hard to be a new mother and not have done these very basic things. However, I'll thank God for every cry, hiccup, and spit up in our near future. Shawn and I are going to entertain Bentley now with a reading from the Velveteen Rabbit:) Love you guys. Keep praying for our angel!!!
We are praying for Bentley. She is absolutely beautiful. We love you guys. Let us know if there is anything we can do.
ReplyDeleteI have told all my friends and family. We are all praying for little Bentley, Shawn, and you. Love you all!
ReplyDeleteAll three of you are in my prayers! Take care of each other and keep up your faith. I know how hard the coming days will be, but before you know it, you'll get to all go home together!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll be out of town for a few days, so hopefully will see you on Thursday. - Becky
Shawn and Jamie, I just wanted you to know that you have given us the most precious gift Bentley Paige Ramson and I can not thank you enough for letting us be a part of her life and yours! Hang in there and be strong for each other! It was so very hard for me to leave all of you today, you are in my heart always! Give Bentley lots of love from her Grammy, Grandad & Uncle Jake and tell her I will see her very soon.... All of my love to you... Grammy
ReplyDeleteWell you two, she is absolutely beautiful! Keep your heads up and lean on each other. You are in the best hands at Children's. Caleb spent time there and with the specialists in L.R. when he was born as well. It was a very trying time for us and we shed a lot of tears of frustration and unsure feelings. Time will fly and you will be home with Bentley before you know it! We can't wait to bring you dinner and meet Bentley. Love you guys and if you need anything, please let us know!
