Hey all, so I really don't have any new information about what they are going to be doing with Brielle's Vascular Malformation. I do know that Miss B had her MRI on Wednesday and was such a trooper!
For her MRI, she couldn't eat for 10 hours before. Given the fact that she eats every hour, I'd say this poor little girl was not a happy camper.
So, Brielle laid there for 50 minutes un-sedated and starving during her MRI and only moved one time! Also, she didn't even cry when they put the IV in her arm. She is a tough cookie! :) A pediatric neurosurgeon is looking at the MRI and we should know pretty soon where they would like to go from here.
On another note, as of Tuesday, Miss B was 7 pounds and 19.5 inches long! On the 13th, she turned 4 months old!
Like I said, I don't really have much information, just figured I would do a short update to let everyone know how Brielle did during her MRI!
Thank you all for reading, and for continuing the prayers. They are very much appreciated!!! I will update when I know more.

Prayers Needed!
Hey all! So I have some kind of scary news about Miss B. A while ago, they noticed a bump on the top of her head, and it appeared to be growing bigger. They told dad and Jean that it might just be a birth mark, and not to worry about it. Well, this bump kept growing so they finally did an ultrasound on it.
Brielle has something called Vascular Malformation, or abnormal blood vessels connected to the brain. She needs to go to a neurosurgeon to have something done about them, to make them stop growing. I guess less than 1% of people get Vascular Malformation, so again Miss B beats all odds!
On Wednesday, Brielle has to have an MRI. The day before that, she can't eat anything, so it will be a tough day!
Apparently, they have 3 different ways to get to the blood vessels. They can either go through the top of her head with something the size of a pencil lead, go up through an artery in her leg all the way up to her brain, or cut a piece of her skull then put it back and stitch it back up. Poor baby! :(
So we would like to ask everyone to keep Miss B in their thoughts and prayers. I will do more updates on Brielle when I get them! Thanks for reading!!

BIRTHday!
Hey guys! So today is the day that Brielle was originally supposed to come into the world! But she decided her April Fools Day joke was going to be coming into the world 3 and a half months early!
Miss B is doing great! She is now 6 pounds 5 ounces!!! That is heavier than I was when I was born almost 19 years ago! :) Also, she is 19 inches long!
Well, I really don't have all that much more to update on at the moment! I will update again soon. Thanks for reading! :)
