Update on Ava

Well first the good news – things weren’t quite as rushed as we initially thought last night.

We originally understood that the doctors said they would need to do the procedure right away to drain the fluid off of Ava’s chest and away from her heart. They pushed that back till this morning, and yet as of this morning have decided to hold off a bit longer.

The downside – as of this morning, they’re planning to keep Amanda at the hospital as long as they can to be sure Ava is monitored closely (aka – Amanda will be there until Ava makes her grand appearance – currently Amanda’s at 28 weeks).

So please be sure and keep Amanda, Ava and Bryan in your prayers. I’ll keep everyone posted here and/or on Twitter as more information is available.

Update on my cousin’s baby

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any updates on my cousin’s baby but we have some great news tonight that I wanted to be sure and share.

Tests show that the baby does have down syndrome but we’re still praying it will be a mild case. The baby is due in October and we’re praying that she continues to grow strong in healthy as she develops.

Also I received this update from my aunt tonight…

We have great news tonight!!! Amanda and Bryan (my cousin) went to see the specialist in Garland. He told them that the hygroma is resolving itself. PRAISE THE LORD! Ava’s heart is doing good and she is gaining weight. We have so much to be thankful for. God’s healing is continuing and He is not through yet. I have prayed that He will finish the good work He started in her from the beginning. He is doing just that. We still have a way to go on this journey, but God remains faithful. Keep them in your prayers and thoughts.
Giving GLORY to the Father who is in heaven!

Please keep Bryan, Amanda and Ava in your prayers. Thanks!
