In the last couple of weeks Reesa’s disposition has changed quite a bit. We knew this would happen as the disease progressed but the reality of the situation has made us all sad and fearful for what the future holds. Just a few weeks ago Reesa could track objects and people from across the room. She would turn her head and look if you made a noise. She seems to have lost this ability as she just stares into space and won’t/can’t follow you with her eyes. Reesa is also slowly losing her ability to laugh and smile. As late as a month ago she would laugh loudly at almost anything and always had a big smile on her face. Now her laughs are rare and have dwindled to tiny growls and her smiles are fading. It’s amazing how much even the slightest smile can brighten our day. Reesa’s saliva secretions have been increasing as well. Due to the risk of aspiration (pneumonia) we have to use a suction machine to clean out her mouth 5-10 times per hour. We can no longer leave Reesa in the car seat without someone sitting in the back with her. While in this position she needs to be suctioned frequently or she starts to choke on her saliva. Despite these latest developments, with some adjustments to her medication, Reesa has been comfortable and happy.
Thank you so much for updating. I have been checking frequently to see if you had posted any updates. My daughter and Reesa were born two days apart so y'all have been heavily in my prayers. Reesa is gorgeous. Such a beautiful angel baby. Continued prayers for your family and Reesa as you soak up her love every day.

ReplyDeleteShe is such a beautiful baby. It's so sad to see such a wonderful family have to go through this tragic disease. You are an amazing family and I feel lucky to have known such loving people. Reesa is truly a living angel now and always. God bless all of you!

She is such a amazing beautiful little angel. She reminds me of my grandbaby that had heart issues and lost her 5yrs ago but that was the best 3 1/2 months of my life. Treasure every smile because she will always be with you. I think God needs the most perfect babies ever. God bless you and my family's prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteThis breaks my heart Jamie. Thinking and praying for Baby Ressa and for God to give you and Sean strength.

Thank you again for sharing your photos! So cute and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBreaks my heart, truly. As a mom and a medical professional, I cry for you and your girl. Afterwards, I hug my own girls. Miracles happen, both by medical and unknown causes. Know that I'm thinking of you and sending positive energy your way every time I think about her or I see a "Reese's" candy at the store. I don't know why, but that triggers it for me, I'm sure since Reesa's name is so similar. My daughters do, too. May you find joy in every day with her. Much love. Andrea, Audrey, and Lauren Harrison
