About Me

My photo
My name is Elisha, and I am 24. I am a SAHM to 5 year old Mr. Elijah Thomas and his sister RaeLynne that was born on November 14, 2008. I am happily married to Casey, since April 6, 2008. Elijah is a great kid and he has not only been diagnosed with Down Syndrome prenatally, but he also is deaf, and has a heart defect that required surgical repair at 5 months of age. He is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me, and I love watching him grow!! He is the most AWESOME brother---the best there is!!

another update

This is Amanda again. i wanted to update you guys again and tell you what has happened today. When Raelynne was first born, her lungs needed help opening up, and her apgar were 1,3,6. since then they have weaned her ventilator from 60% to 45% down to 32% and they are trying to get her off of it tonight. and are trying to get her onto the cpap tonight. they started her on photo therapy as a precaution she is fine now, but they dont want her getting jaundice. she was sobbing when elisha went down there earlier at 7pm. elisha put her finger in her incubater and Rae went right to sleep. after wrapping her little fingers around her finger. we have a very strong baby in our hands and she is going to be fine.just keep up the prayers. elisha is resting well. still sore and really can't fall to sleep but they are thinking about taking the cathader and the IV out tomorrow and starting her on oral pain medicine. i will update you more tomorrow. Elisha says thanks for all your prayers and thoughts.
