Missy's Moments

At least they were all kind of looking <3

I could name so much to be thankful for but mainly I'm just thankful. I am thankful for my family. I am thankful for friends both new and old. I am thankful for memories and time spent with my grand babies. I am thinking a lot about my sweet cousins today spending their first thanksgiving without my Aunt Deborah, I wish we could be together and share our Minnesota cold, our fun and a good hot dish with you. I'm thinking about the families with littles in the hospital and am praying that today n ot be a roller coaster of emotion but filled with memories of the time that is spent together. I'm thinking there are many entering this season with loss and I pray just like I have been ,that you be reminded daily of all that is, and be thankful that you had and all that was. I am thankful Brielle was with us and so wish we could snuggle with her. I am thankful for the grace that extends to me daily in a love so unmistakable from a Savior that really is the reason for it all. Hap...

Journal entry by Missy Eagen — 1/29/2016 Grandma Missy here with nothing but praises to report! So how many nurses, respiratory therapists, and family members does it take to get one 2 1/2lb baby girl cuddled up to her Mama!?!? Today Jordan and Beca found out the answer. Up until today Jordan and Beca had only held her in her isolate during her cares. Today one respiratory therapist, 3 nurses, Grandpa Shawn to man Bennett and Jordan helped get Brielle out and on her mommy. 💕 She did great! Tomorrow is Dad's turn and I know he's excited. The vent continues to go well, her blood gases are right where they need to be, her feedings resumed yesterday and are going well, basically she continues to wow us and the doctors. We are all so grateful for the prayers as Brielle continues to live the meaning of her name- God is my strength. Big brother Bennett turned 1 today! We celebrated with an 'unofficial' party since I'm out of town the rest of the weekend. Bennett...
