A new day
Yesterday they tried to extubate Bridger, he was on CPAP for 2 1/2 hours and was really struggling. He was re-intubated and it took a bit for him to relax, but finally he was able to. We are still not quite sure what happened yesterday or even on Monday. Today the plan is just to give him a good rest and see how it goes from there. Yesterday all of our paperwork was sent off to Stanford, so we will see how this next few days to week goes and if Stanford agrees that it is worth evaluating him, then we will see if Bridger feels like he is up for this challenge.

One day at a time, that is all you can do. I wish I could make Bridger better and take away all the stress and frustration. You shouldn't have to make the decisions you have, but, everyone who knows you believes you are doing whatever is best for Bridger. We are amazed at the courage and strength you and Danny have shown so far. Please don't ever be afraid to let your guard down a bit, or ask for help. You have more people than you know praying, and thinking about you all. Any of us would drop what we are doing to help out in anyway needed. Continued prayers and thoughts for all three of you.
Staci,Danny,and Baby Bridger I love you three with all my heart and I'm so amazed at the strengh you three have. I'm also so honored to have you as my family. Bridger knew what he was doing when he chose you as parents,I pray very day for you guys and I'm sending all my FAITH,HOPE,and LOVE too you always

Sweet sweet Stacy, My heart aches for you right now. I know that there are not any words that I can say to make it all better. I do want to tell you that you are amazing and strong and that Bridger is so blessed to have you as his mommy. You keep fighting for that little man and if you feel that your decisions are right for him don't let anyone make you second guess yourself or make you feel discouraged. I want you to know that I know that Faith can move mountains and that prayer works. We are sending all of faith and prayers to you. I am going to try and get up there tomorrow.

Stay strong!! Much love, Hilary Cook
Hello. I haven't read back on Bridgers story, I just linked over from Daxton's blog. I read the most recent post though. It sounds like you just sent off his papers to Stanford.
We live in AZ. Our little guy, Owen, was born with 1/2 a heart. He's had some surgeries, but his heart is kaput. We visited CHLA, UCLA and most recently Stanford for transplant evaluations. Stanford blew us away!!!!
The Drs there are top notch. The Ronald McDonald House (although we didn't stay there for our evaluations) was amazing!!!
They are able to treat our guy at home with meds until he gets a little sicker, but a new heart will need to happen in the next year. Meanwhile, we are scheduled to visit Stanford every few months.
I will be PRAYING for you and Bridger and I can't wait to sit down tomorrow and read through his journey.
If you want to chat you can email me at andreanicolesimmons@hotmail.com or my phone is 280-558-3007. You can read Owen's journey too.. if you're interested.

I'm so sorry that Bridger and you have to go through all this. We are praying that his little body will be stronger for the next step forward.
Staci-
Just the other day I was looking at pictures of you, Jessica and I when we were so much younger! I want to let you know that I will continute to pray everyday for Bridger, you and Danny. I have reached to my family clear across the country for them to keep Bridger in their prayers too. He is loved by all. Take care.
Love ya,
Lesa (Lillie)McSwain and family
Oh little Bridger!! He is so sweet!
I too linked over from Daxton's blog. My little Mia received her angel heart last november and is now happy at home.
It is a rough road, but you can do it!!
Having an intubated baby is so difficult. I hope with some rest he will give it another go. C-Pap always made Mia more angry! They had to medicate her because it didn't do any good having her heart rate sky rocket while she was fighting the c-pap mask. I am so so sorry you are going through this.
We'll be watching your story and praying for our new heart buddy!!
