Another Great Week
Oakley was 6 weeks old yesterday and had another fabulous week at home. She is eating great from her bottle and is just a wonderful baby. She had another check up this week and everything was fine, she now weighs 6 lbs. 14 oz. We are very proud of her and of all of her accomplishments. She has had allot of people come and visit her, and check up on her this past week. Oakley's brothers have all fallen in love with their little sister. We wondered how they would all take having a baby in the house, but they have all been wonderful and they all love to sit and hold her and they all talk to her all the time. Oakley loves to be held and talked to, she will just stare at you and make little sounds. She loves to stick her tounge out, and we think that this is from the feeding tube in the hospital. Since the tube was removed she sticks her tounge out like something is supposed to be there. She is truly wonderful and we are blessed as parents to have a healthy child that went through CDH. We pray everyday for the babies with CDH and the parents of babies with CDH. May God bless each of you just as he blessed us. CDH is a long journey and we pray for each one of you, and we hope that in someway we can help families through this, even if it is just with encouragement. Our hearts and Prayers are with you.

Hi there. I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Stephanie and I'm currently pregnant with twin girls. One of them has cdh and was diagnosed at 13 weeks. We are due in June and we have also started a blog. www.thestuddardfamily.blogspot.com/. I would love to email you to ask you some questions about Oakley. I'm so glad to hear that she's home and thriving. That's such great news. Congratulations on her health.

wonderful news that Oakley is doing great at home. She is such an inspiration to other CDH babies. God Bless You.
ReplyDeleteHello Irvin family. This is Kelly Gruel. I was one of the weekend nurses who got to take care of Oakley. Even though she wasn't with us for very long, she left a lasting impression on me. I am so happy that she did so well. You truly have a miracle child. It may have seemed like an eternity to you, but her hospital stay was actually very short for a baby with CDH. I will never forget her!

ReplyDeleteI'm very happy for you and especially for Oakley. She is such a cutie. I hope we can get together some day. I don't know how to explain it, but little Oakley is very close to my heart and her being here and being healthy is just a huge ray of hope and proof that miracles do happen. Little Oakley will always be in my prayers.
