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!

About the Blogger
My name is Dawn Dahlberg and I have been a friend to the Ervin family for the last 4 years. I met Kyle through work and was introduced to his lovely family and instantly fell in love with them.
They are one of the most loving and caring families you will ever meet. They have adopted me into their family with open arms and I will be forever grateful.
For those of us who do not have Facebook or direct contact with the family, I wanted to provide a way for everyone to get updates.
Please check back daily as she improves and KEEP THE PRAYERS COMING!

I had non-sleepers too. About the time you think you can't take anymore, the baby will sleep a relatively long time. That's when you get to wake up, realize the baby hasn't cried for a while, race to the crib and feel relief when you discover him sleeping peacefully while your heart has pounded out of your chest with fear. I was also told that when they reach 10 pounds, they sleep a little longer (that wasn't always true, but it gave me something to look forward to.)
ReplyDeleteSometimes it helped to remember how blessed I was to have a baby and how fragile and temporary life can be. God bless all of you!
