Friday 6/19/2009: "Our beautiful daughter was born on June 16th at 8:41 pm. It was a very long labor but I managed to push for three hours and she finally came. Poor thing came out with the cord around her neck 4 times. The doctors handled the situation amazingly and got her to come to quickly. She was then taken right to the Nicu. She was stable and doing quiet well right away. That day she had a few episodes where she held her breath and they had to get her oxygen quick. Since those two episodes she has been stable. I am giving this in a nut shell. The doctors were concerned that the loss of oxygen could have caused some swelling on the brain. They decided to give her a cooling therapy to stop any further swelling and to heal the other.
The last two days she has done so well and we are so thrilled! She is a fighter and we know she is going to be great. We have seen many miracles in our life already...her being the biggest one of course. Someday I will fill you all in on them and many more details. But for now I just wanted you to all know that she is here and doing well and we ask for all of your prayers at this time. She is coming off the cooling treatment today and it's going to be a crucial time to see how her little body reacts. This is where we need to pray for the best outcome.
When you look at this sweet baby you can feel her strong spirit and know that she is a fighter! We are so proud of her and love her more than I ever thought was possible.
Thank you for all of your love, support, phone calls, flowers and especially prayers! They are being heard and answered. We will keep you all posted. Please forward this to anyone I may have missed.
We Love You All!
Brenda, Luke and baby Adelaide Bryn"
