Intro

Brynn Marie Ervin is the devoted wife to Kyle; mother to four beauiful children - Grace, Isaiah, Noah and Anthony; Daughter to Alan and Holly, Ken and Linda; Sister to Katie, Andy and Alisa; and a friend to all!

After several weeks of bed rest at home, Brynn was checked into the hospital in order to delay the premature birth of young Anthony to a date where his lungs would be fully developed.

On December 1, 2009 at 2:37 PM, Anthony Alan Ervin was brought into this world via c-section, weighing in at only 2 pounds 11 ounces and 15.5 inches long.

Unfortunately, 24 hours after the delivery of baby Anthony, a blood clot released from Brynn's legs and stopped to block the pulmonary artery in her heart for several minutes, causing her to have a seizure. Brynn immediately underwent successful emergency open heart surgery to clear the clot. However, Brynn was without oxygen to her brain for 45 minutes or more.

The reality is that this family will have a long road ahead of them to recovery. Please keep Brynn and her family in your prayers during this time of need.

Thank you and God bless for your thoughts and prayers!

Below are Kyle's daily updates on Brynn's status.

Kyle’s updates from Facebook 12/16/09 (Wednesday) @ 6:19 pm

SHE SMILED TODAY!!!!!!! The nurses and a doctor from labor and delivery were visiting with her and joking about how they and the NICU nurses had nicknamed anthony Benjamin Button 'cause he looked like a little old man. She smiled at that. Then they told her my response to the name which was 'That's great so long as he ends up looking like Brad Pit'. She smiled bigger...A great day.

  1. Hi Kyle,

    My brother Frank shared your story with our family. It's fantastic that Brynn and Anthony are improving! We are all praying for her recovery. Please don't forget to pray for all the medical staff that are caring for her and Anthony. Pray that they have peace in their life so that they can stay fully focused when they are there with your wife and son.

    You, Brynn and your entire family will continue to be in my prayers. I look forward to reading about Brynn and Anthony's improvement. Merry Christmas.

  3. I work with Josh and he has shared your story with all of us at school. I have sent this blog to all of my friends so they can pray for Brynn's recovery, Anthony's progress, Kyle's stamina, and for the doctors to know how to progress with her recovery. "LORD BLESS THIS FAMILY"...
