And big sister Hayleigh is OFF the heart lung bypass machine (ECMO) and doing well!!!!
Notice the big empty space on the right side of the room where the ECMO machine used to be..
Oxygen stats are looking good and pulse in leg used for canulas looking good.
We are SUPER excited by all this. Things happened since last night that led to all the kids being at someone else's house at the same time tonight. I had been going down in the morning and coming back in the late afternoon but today I went down to Boston late with plans to pick the kids up after dinner. I had the thought "I wonder if everyone is at the same house tonight because baby is coming tonight?" And the answer to that would be "YES!"
Mid October baby in New England = this kind of view every year we celebrate this little one as well Hayleigh coming off the extraordinary life saving machine...
God is so good. In all things Praise Him.
Please pray for
1. Quick, safe, and healthy delivery of baby
2. Comfort (as much as possible) and protection for Rachel
3. Continued healing of Hayleigh
Spread the good news! :)
God bless,
Andrew

DeleteWonderful news!
ReplyDeletePraise the LORD!!!
ReplyDeleteYou don't know me, but I was shown your blog by a friend. I am touched by your family's compassion and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and I am deeply inspired by Hayleigh's story, spirit, and will to keep fighting. I thank God that things are looking better for Hayleigh, and that you will be blessed with a new addition soon. I pray that all goes well. God bless!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you all!!!
ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL news!!! Sending positive thoughts from New Hampshire.
ReplyDeletePraising God with you !!!!
ReplyDeleteMay God bless you and your family! I randomly came across this blog and I'm so glad I did. What a story you have. My family and I will pray for you every single day. Lots of love and joy to you all.
ReplyDeleteHi. We don't know one another, but I learned of your family's serious situation through a mutual friend. It really affected me to think that one family could be asked to endure so much. In fact, it just about angered me. But reading this update has renewed my faith that sometimes things just work out and we can't understand why. I read a friend's post on Facebook not long ago that basically said God does not ask more of us than we can handle. While I have never been a person to wear my religion on my sleeve, or talk very openly about my beliefs, as some people I know seem to, I do believe that there is a certain (perhaps unexplainable) balance in life that allows those burdens we bear to be offset with blessings or times of good fortune. I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and am hoping that you all come out the other end happy, healthy and stronger. Maybe this is the beginning of one of those times of good fortune. Good luck to you all!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Andrew!!!
ReplyDeleteGod bless,
Scott
Although you don't know me, I am one of the many people with mutual friends who are praying for your daughter and your family. This past May, my not-quite-2-year-old daughter slipped out of the house and fell in our pool. I found her, unconscious and not breathing, some minutes later and resuscitated her. She spent a week in the PICU at Children's Hospital (like you, I was comforted and reassured to have Scuch be one of the first doctors we saw there). The same friends who are praying for Hayleigh now prayed for Katie then. Their prayers helped my husband and I get through a horrifying and terrifying time, and part of my prayer for you is that you and your family will feel the same sense of comfort, peace, and hope that we did. Our daughter came home with a clean bill of health, which is nothing short of a miracle, and she is now a happy, vibrant, perfectly healthy child. I pray that Hayleigh will experience the same recovery, and that you will feel some comfort and peace during this incredibly difficult time. Blessings to your family and to Hayleigh's whole medical team.
ReplyDeleteTy Lord! That sounds great! Congratulations to Rachel, Andrew, AJ, Sarah, Vienna and most of all HAYLEIGH!!!!
ReplyDeleteOur big news is not quite so big, but is is good: remember when Mindy and the other three 26 ish gals tossed the coins over their shoulder at the Trevi Fountain in Rome to find their true love? Well, Mindy May have met hers this month! :)
Caitlin Thistle's Mom sends her love and best wishes for a speedy recovery and a very happy birthday to your new addition.
ReplyDeleteWhat great news for all of you. So glad the baby is being born during a positive and happy time in Hayleigh's recovery! Still keeping all of you in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYEAH!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS BE TO GOD! Prayers for continued healing for Hayleigh and a peaceful delivery for Rachel! Wishing you all God's peace. Barbara Wurst
ReplyDeleteEver since my niece, S.Powell in Wisconsin, shared your blog about Hayleigh's and your family's journey, my mind and heart have been holding her and you in prayer. Bless you for your continuous faith in the God's plan for you. I'm so very happy to hear how Hayleigh is progressing and may the birth of the new little one be easy, gentle and a blessing for you all!
ReplyDeleteAmen.
Blessings to all of you! God is good. Can't wait to hear about Baby Scott and more progress for Hayleigh!!! Will continue to pray and thank God for his rich blessings as well...
ReplyDeletePrayers, Hugs, Safe journey and Much Energy wishes being sent your way. "Auntie June"
ReplyDeletePlease know our little town of Mt Sterling in KY has been praying, People ask wherever I go and assure me they are lifting up your family and especially Hayleigh, Rachel and baby. They have been praying since Hayleigh and Vienna were born... How precious to be in One Family of God!
ReplyDeletePraise God!!! We are so thankful to hear all of the wonderful news - and will continue to be praying!
ReplyDeleteFabulous news. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family :)
ReplyDeleteI first met Hayleigh a year or so ago in Providence, RI at the HLAA Convention when I bought some of her charms. I was just showing off my bling Friday night and talking about her at the dinner prior to the HLAA Florida State Board meeting when someone else said they heard she was sick. I had to track down the news and it is nice to see she is getting better. Hug her for me too please, my prayers are with you all.
