There have been questions about Bradys, the episodes that little Aaleigha Mya has...I have received more information on this issue from JP so here goes...
Bradys is when the heart rate drops. JP said he'd understood it to be common in preemies. The hospital will now be giving her medication for reflux. As in this is usually caused by acid reflux. Who would've known. I told JP she's just like a Stender..like her Grandpa Stender, anyways, dealing with things like acid reflux but who would've thunk a wee one like that would have a rapid drop in heart rate because of acid reflux? And that they would name it Bradys?!
So they are starting her on medication and if she can go about five days without an episode, Aaleigha Mya can start the journey home about Tuesday or Wednesday. We're working out the details as JP has to return next week for work so either Nancy or I as of this time are set to fly down and drive back with Julie and the babe.
All are excited about this event!!!
If Nancy is able to go, I will take over watching the boys plus a little boy named Griffin that Nancy watches during the week for a friend. I think I need some strong vitamins! And excedrin! Just kidding.
For sure, whether I watch the babes in Fergus or fly to Texas to be with Julie and Aaleigha on the drive home, I will take next week off from work. Of course I have to finalize those plans with the boss but he's not at work today because of the storm.
In a way, I'd look forward to a trip to Texas. Anything to get rejuvenated with some warmer weather after all this snow and all this cold!
Will let you know if we get more news which I am expecting to receive tonight from Julie's messages on Facebook.
And any Stenders and extended family interested in joining our circle on Facebook? If you have questions, just e-mail me!

Hi to you this morning.....
We are certainly praying here for you all as you wait for news about your littlest grandchild. I wish we were closer so we could help with the boys. I can imagine how anxious everyone is to be home (even with the cold and snow) now with the new baby. Premmies certainly have some struggles. It has been quite a journey for JP and Julie but how happy they are as new parents.
Continuing to pray.
We are certainly looking forward to your visit in June. Jim is sending out resumes now and hoping to land a Machinist job somewhere soon. He is finally feeling better but it was a nasty one this time. With his asthma, it always takes longer to recover from colds and flu etc. It has been nice to have him home as he has been helping me with the painting and odd jobs around the house.
Blessings. Hugs to you all.
