Bracey Update

Here is the latest on Bracey. Thank you for your prayers!

"Dear Family and Friends,

We hope your week is going well. Torrey went back to work this week. It has been extremely hard on him to have to leave his baby. We hold onto the hope that this part of our lives will soon be behind us and we can begin our lives as a family. Bracey is getting better every day. He is growing and he is doing great with his feeds. We get to bottle feed him 3 times a day. The rest he gets through his feeding tube. He is up to full feeds which is great. The doctors will be taking his IV’s off tomorrow and taking his NG tube out and replacing it with a regular feeding tube. This is a huge step closer to going home. We thought this would happen today, but the surgeons are very cautious. They take baby steps in everything they do for his recovery. The doctor’s have talked to us today about moving Bracey to the next floor by this weekend. This floor is called the transition floor. The babies usually go home within a week of being moved to this floor!

The physical therapists have been coming in once a day to work with his wrists and hands. They already look 100% better. He is able to stretch them much easier and he is getting more comfortable with his mommy and daddy messing with them.

Thank you for your prayers, cards and support. We could never get through this without the support of our family and friends and especially without prayer. We have truly felt God’s mighty work in Bracey’s life.

In His Hands,

Torrey, Angela, & Bracey"
