Update on Bryson- Tonight they discovered that Bryson's oxygen gas levels were off, which was requiring him to need more oxygen. This causes his lungs to work harder and can be detrimental. They have decreased his oxygen supply a little but it is still higher than what he was on earlier and will need continual tweaking. Please pray that his oxygen gas levels go back to normal and that they are able to decrease his oxygen again.

Update on Julie - Julie was not feeling as well yesterday - had a headache, swelling of the ankles, and actually got a nose bleed (we thought from just pushing it a little too hard the days before). Come to find out today her blood pressure was through the roof. It was 161/93 and 150/95 in the other arm. She met with the high risk doctor this afternoon and he wanted to admit her with concerns of preeclampsia postpartum but instead told her that she was to be on complete bed rest and could not be at the hospital until Monday. They are running blood tests to check her platelet level as well as her liver function and we will get those tests tomorrow. If they come back abnormal she will be admitted.

Julie is resting and there are many people keeping very close eyes on her to make sure she obeys the doctors orders. She is calling our mom the "preeclampsia police!!!!" Those that know Julie know that bed rest is NOT easy for her. The nurses have been told that if they see her to send her home. She will not be updating the blog but I promise that as information and updates become available I will be updating on her behalf.

Thank you for all your prayers for Bryson, Julie and the whole family! The support and love is overwhelming during this time!
