Dear Family,
I am happy to say that all is well here in the Brinley home. We are surviving each day and even thriving on a few. Janey is growing and looking chubbier everyday. We had an oxygen test this past Thursday. She did better then the two weeks previous but her levels were still a little low. We will test her again in 2 more weeks and hopefully we will be able to have her off the oxygen. I am getting pretty good at transporting her with her tank and monitor around the house. She is so sweet and is a great little eater and sleeper. She is giving me 6 to 7 hour stretches at night which I am so thankful for.
Jonathan continues to amaze me with his ability to work on our home. He has done the tile work and finish carpentry and is now laying the wood floors. I was able to go out and spend all Saturday helping him lay the floors. Janey slept in the pantry closet in her carseat and didn't seem to mind all the noise. It is fun to work together and I wish I could be out helping him more. He is putting in 17 hour days and I am so appreciative of his hard work. I am trying to hold things together on the home front. Thanks to mom an dad we somehow get to all the doctor appointments, school programs, and dance lessons. The Lord has blessed us so much with the timing of everything the last 3 months and I am so thankful.
We had a happy and haunting Halloween. Katy was a scary witch with moles and green hair, Hunter was a motorcross driver who had crashed(he was really excited about getting to put the fake blood on his face), Jacob was a skeleton with full face makeup(a little tricky with glasses),
Emily was a white fairy (thanks to Aunt Mary Ann's costume box), and Alyssa was a little indian girl. Alyssa had a great time trick or teating for the first time. She would enthusiastically run to each door with her siblings, get the candy, say "thank you", and then run back and say, "Daddy, candy". Each door was like a first experience. It was so funny. Poor Katy had an allergic reaction to some cheese she had at lunch and only made it half way through the houses before I walked her home in pain. Not a fun night to be sick on as a kid, especially when your eligable years to go trick or treating are quickly drawing to an end.
WE love you and hope you have a thankful and blessed month. We look forward to the holidays and hopefully introducing you all to our little Janey.
Love,
the Brinley Bunch
