Day 6- December 11th

Prayers do work!!!

Overnight, Rylan’s WBC went from 15,800 to 11,600. Her billirubin level went from 11.8 to 8.3. She’s responsive, feisty, feeding well, and now has her phototherapy lights off. We will keep her in her car seat for 3 hours today (to ensure she can maintain her breathing levels while in the car). We completed our required infant CPR class, and unless her billirubin levels skyrocket overnight after being taken off the light therapy, we’ll be going home tomorrow afternoon!!!!!!!!!
What could have been another week long stay has turned around overnight, and I am completely convinced that this is because so many of you are praying for her. We cannot thank you enough. Blake said last night that he’s never known anyone that has been covered in as much prayer as Rylan has been.
I guess this wraps up our daily update e-mails, and specific prayer requests. I’ll continue to post updates on Facebook after we get home. If I’m diligent enough, I might even get Christmas cards out with a picture of all 4 girls together (no promises).
Thank you, again. You’ll never know how much it means to us!

Blake, Casey, Brayden, Ashlyn, Brooklyn, and Rylan Shirley
