This is my 2nd post of the day, can you believe it? I posted earlier that Brinley is a month old today, thanks to my smart friend Jeanne she told me she wouldn't be a month old until April 9th. I swear I'm losing my mind... Yes, she was born on March 9th so April 9th would make her one month old I was just thinking she was born on a Monday morning 4 weeks ago so she's a month old, ANYWAY she's not technical a month old yet.

Brinley weighs 2 pounds 8 ounces, they did another Echo on her heart but we won't know the results until tomorrow or possibly even Wednesday. The doctors still feel like she's doing well and not showing any complications from her PDA her BMP was a little elevated today so he said he wanted to do another Echo just to make sure there wasn't any surprises.. They turned her oxygen down from 25% to 23% which she seemed to be tolerating reasonable well until I held her tonight and it dropped below 85 so they had to turn it up while I was holding her.

I found myself singing "Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus" as I was holding her tonight. I never lost faith in Jesus over the last 4 weeks I knew that he was going to take care of his child. I just prayed that the sweet blessing he gave me would continue to stay with me and her daddy and that her father in heaven wasn't ready to take her home. I know through every challenge we face in life there is a lesson to be learned, I know my faith has gotten stronger because of this challenge. I know Brinley's journey in the NICU is over with yet, but I believe the worst is behind us but regardless if it is or not I know I have my precious savior to lean on when life is difficult.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:5
