A Day of BLESSINGS!

It was a big day for the Graebner family.  Emily was able to hold her child for the first time today!  What a joyous moment this was!  Emily was able to hold her for 2 hours inside her shirt to do skin-to-skin time.  Brontë also had her first meal today and tolerated it well (a whole 1ml!).

Emily was also discharged from the hospital today.  The Graebners received more joyous news today when they learned they had been accepted into the Ronald McDonald house in order to stay close to baby Brontë.

Even though this family was able to celebrate many encouraging milestones, please keep them in your prayers.  The bleeding in Brontë's brain is still a concern as well as the infection in her lungs.  It's because of all your prayers that this family was able to physically reunite and the Graebners thank you all from the bottom of their hearts!

    Pictures coming soon.. holding her was a dream come true. I can't even describe...

Hopefully Nick will be able to hold her today... as long as she has tolerated the last few feedings and doesn't have any regression...



    The nurses and doctors have been saying that it is quite remarkable that she is the same baby girl that was so very sick just days ago! just making leaps and strides!



    Please pray this continues... I pray the medical staff continues to see her improvements as remarkable and undeniably sees the hand of God in each milestone she reaches.

    Love you all and thank you for your prayers and support... they have been such a blessing during this time!
