Update 10.10.2010

Greetings from the NICU. Short update today. Overall it has been a pretty good weekend in the NICU. The girls are really starting to show their personalities now that they are getting bigger. Lucy is turning out to be quite the little jabber box, she always has something to say. Brenna is our little sweetie who takes things as they come, and never gets too upset about anything. Anna is our little thinker, always looking right at you with a studious look on her face. It's amazing how different they are at such a young age. They are also finally starting to put on some weight. Brenna is leading the pack at 2lbs 7oz, followed by Anna at 2lbs 5oz, and Lucy holding at 2lbs 4oz.

It was a a bittersweet day Friday. Our friends Ryan and Denielle got to take their two little boys, James and Joseph, home. It was hard to see them go, but we are so happy they were able to get their lives started as a family. We look forward to hearing from them with updates on their two little ones. We wish them all the best. Please keep them in your prayers as they start raising their boys.

As this week starts, it's going to include another surgery for Brenna. She had to move back to the vent this weekend after the doctors determined her heart valve is going to need to be closed. This is the same surgery her sisters had shortly after they were born. It's a fairly straight forward procedure, but it is invasive surgery none the less. Prayers are appreciated. Hopefully this is the last surgery for our little Brenna for a while.

We'd also like to congratulate Angie's cousin Ryan and his new wife Kayla. They were married on Saturday and we would like to say thank you for taking a moment on your day to remember our girls in the NICU. The prayer during the ceremony meant the world to us. If you heard sniffling in the back row, it was us. :)

We know Halloween is a few weeks away, but we thought we'd end this with something that made us smile, we hope it makes you smile too.




In His name,

Brad, Angie, Anna, Brenna, and Lucy Kamps

  1. What a wonderful video. So precious to see their tiny faces without that vent. Lucy so wide eyed and alert--- and what was melting my heart the most was their strength and movements. That is huge step from when preemies lie around motionless as if they use every ounce of energy they have to breathe. Wow, they have come so far. We couldn't be more happy for your family.
