Bradley William Halladay - 6 lbs 14 oz. 19 inches



Well, even though it was 4 weeks early, my water broke on March 26, 2010 at 5:15 am. My water always breaks in bed! So, we called the dr and we went to Texas Womens Hospital. I had Bradley via C-section at 11:14 am. I love my doctor and my hospital experience was wonderful! I highly recommend Texas Womans Hospital to anyone! Brad was early so he went straight to the NICU. That was probably good because he had a little trouble breathing one time that first day
and so they kept him there another 5 days to make sure that didn't happen again and to rule out more serious problems. But, Big Bad Brad is a champ is eating well and sleeping well. He should come home tomorrow, barring anymore problems! God is so good! We know He is watching over us and has His hand in our lives. We are so thankful for our newest addition and for all the help, prayers, meal, gifts, and blessings we have received. Our hearts are full.

Emma

This is Emma. She is the little angel girl that I took care of at Wee School last year. She is a victim of Batten's disease (this disease slowly robs you of your abilities to walk, eat, see, talk, move, etc. as it shuts down your brain) and it seems her time is very near. She is almost 4 years old and is down to weighing 18 lbs. And now she has pneumonia. I will be sad to see her go, and so sad for her awesome family, but happy for her to be free from this awful disease and go be with Jesus. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family as I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. But, I am glad that soon she will not be suffering anymore. See you later, Emma.
If anyone wants to see her blog or buy a t-shirt or donate to Emma's Hugs (a non-profit organization that helps pay for food and parking for those that have loved ones in the hospital) the link is on the bottom of my blog called "I am especially fond of you."
