PICTURES ...Nope not yet !

Well I have pictures of Braeton but, I can't upload them at this time. Its not recognizing the file format or something like that. Mike, Ethan & I did visit Braeton, Sara(Mom)& Jeremy(Dad) last night at Children's. I am very pleased to say his is doing a lot better. He is now sleeping(taking naps)& sucking on a pacifier. They may feed him sooner than expected. The Doctor said his white blood count is up!, which is excellent! I will post the pictures tomorrow. (hopefully)

Update ...Update...Update....

Sara just told me that Braeton pulled out his breathing tube and He is breathing on his OWN !!! Yipppppeeeee !! Jeremy & Sara will take picture today so, I will have pictures soon !

Update on Braeton !

Sara has told us that the Doctors have pin-pointed Braetons diagnosis.
He has Pierre Robin Syndrome (PRS) is a congenital condition of facial abnormalities in humans. As PRS is NOT caused by a single defect gene, it is NOT a genetic syndrome, but rather a chain of certain developmental malformations, one entailing the next.
** I am sure he will be in the NICU for awhile. I am hopeful it will be only a few months but we will see over time. He will need to have a few surgeries on his jaw. The main problems with this syndrome is eating and breathing. So once the baby grows he will develop normally . When I googled it, it stated that most babies with is syndrome will grow to be normal healthy adults. Please remain to keep your thoughts and prayers with My sisters family. Thanks, Liz

Welcome Braeton Allen !

Congratulation Sara & Jeremy ! We have a new addition to the family a little sooner than expected ! Sara went in to have an ultrasound Friday a.m and they saw she had low amniotic fluid and the baby was not moving like he should. So they called her Dr. and He did not want to take the risk and send her home so they decided to do the c-section that day.

Braeton Allen Hirschmugl was born Friday Dec. 12th 2008 @ 1:49pm, he weights 4lbs 5oz and is 17 inches long. He has a pushed back chin & cleft pallet so he was having trouble breathing. They got a tube in and stabilized him then He took is first helicopter ride to Children's Hospital. He is in the NICU and the wonderful Doctors and Nurses are taking excellent care of him.

I will keep you updated on his progress. (I promise I will blog more.)
Please keep my Sister Sara, Jeremy & Braeton in your thoughts and prayers !
(I hope it have pictures to post soon)
