Destiny came home from the NICU after 45 days, and it has been anything but uneventful. She was a 30 week 3 day preemie due to severe pre-eclampsia and HELLP Syndrome (shuts down mother’s liver and kidneys). We are currently waiting to see if we can avoid surgery (nissen fundoplication) by utilizing her NJ feeding tube. She is 12.5 pounds and she is mostly a very happy baby. We love her to death and ask for your prayers and support. If you would like to see our family website we are at http://briggsfamily.webs.com

An updated video of our son who was born two month premature due to preeclampsia. He spent 3 weeks in the NICU. Mommy spent 12.5 days in the hospital due to her preeclampsia condition. This is our journey though pictures.
A little over one year after our son was born we decided to ‘pay it forward’ by hosting a Preeclampsia Awareness Walk-A-Thon to help raise awareness and funds for the Preeclampsia Foundation. Thank you to all who participated!

Please view this compelling 8 minute version of the longer (22 minute) video, If Only We Knew The Quest to Conquer Preeclampsia. Every hour of every day of the year, approximately 40 pregnant women in this country are diagnosed as having preeclampsia. Every 6 minutes, one of those women will develop severe preeclampsia . . . the lives of the mother and baby are at risk. Globally, data suggest that 75,000 women and 500,000 babies die because of preeclampsia.
Known since biblical times, preeclampsia is characterized by (among other things) extreme spikes in blood pressure and protein in the urine. There is no cure and the only treatment we have are extreme vigilance, bed rest, and if the symptoms grow too severe . . . delivery. Unfortunately, in some women, preeclampsia continues to progress even after delivery, threatening organ failure, stroke, and even death. If born too prematurely, we know that the baby will also face serious medical and developmental challenges. In fact, preeclampsia is the largest known cause of premature birth in the US.
A recent Preeclampsia Foundation survey indicated that women who gave birth prematurely and had not been made aware of the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia suffered TWICE the infant loss as those who were informed.
Knowledge is power and knowledge can save your life as well as your babys life . . . please contact us at ifonlyweknew@preeclampsia.org to learn how you can get the full version of the video.
Please go to www.preeclampsia.org to learn more about the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia.
Please share this information with every pregnant woman you know . . . now.

Found this one of Rylan, we’re trying to get him to wake up to eat. You can see just how little he really was. At this point I think he was still just four pounds.
