We got a text from Kevin early Saturday Morning saying that Julie was headed to the Hospital in an ambulance to be checked out. Julie woke up wet thinking her water had broke and was shocked to discover that it was blood and not water. She had placenta abruption. When she got to the hospital the specialist that she has been seeing wanting her to be life flighted to the U of U hospital. Julie's doctor that she loves, Dr. Hartman, was the doctor on call at McKay and checked Julie and discovered that she was dilated to an 8 and there was no way she could make it. He said he would deliver the babies. Because of all the blood he chose to deliver the twins by C-Section. Because it was Dr. Hartman Julie was fine with that decision and totally trusted his call. Having Dr. Hartman be the doctor on call was one of many tiny miracles that took place that day.
Ever since we found out the Brynlie had fluid on her brain we have been praying for miracles. Even though I know God has His plan for us, I still believe and feel that it is okay to pray for miracles and expect them to happen. Just because the blind man was blind didn't mean he had to stay that way. Lots of miracles have happened because of all the prayers of our families and friends. God knows us and hears us and answers our prayers. We have recognized so many miracles and I am positive there are so many more happening that we aren't even aware of.
Brynlie was life flighted to the Uof U to have tests done on her. Darinda noticed the Helicopter on her way to Shelby's wedding. (she didn't know it had her niece in it) The doctors discovered that Brynlie also has Spinal Bifida Occulta. However, her reflex's and other test results were all positive and good. She responded like a healthy baby. (another miracle)
I was anxious to get pictures and updates. It was an emotional day for Larry and I. We feel so blessed to have these babies here. Thursday, Julie had gone to the doctor and he suggested a steroid shot series to be given on Thursday and then another on Friday to help boost the progress of the babies lungs. He told Julie he thought it was a good idea just in case the babies decided to come on Saturday. Another miracle for these cuties.
After being tested and tested some more, Brynlie was transported back to McKay to be with her mommy and brother. That happened on Tuesday. Another miracle! Oh and since Kevin's insurance didn't pay to have a transfer back, Primary Children's Hospital took care of it. Miracle! (I'm happy I have always donated to primary's....who'd have thought it would come back to us?)
We were happy and when we got home Wednesday night be cleaned up and went to the hospital to meet our newest grands. They are pretty tiny and absolutely perfect! Larry was fine with just holding Briggs but not me....I had to hold each of them. Oh my heart! It's incredible how love just keeps filling a heart that seems so full already. There is always room for more love! I'm so in love with Brynlie and Briggs already!
