Remember when I introduced you all to Devan? Well, On December 19th, Devan's cousin, Courtney, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. This family can really use some help right now. Baby Brenna was also born with super powers. An extremely rare, and very serious medical condition known as Harlequin Ichthyosis, her skin lacks a certain protein essential to protecting her from infection. She is also very prone to dehydration, breathing difficulties, movement restriction, and inability to regulate her body temperature.
After having spent the first several weeks of her life in the NICU, Miss Brenna was finally give the go-ahead to come home. But earlier this week, she caught a stomach bug. On Wednesday, she was readmitted to the NICU. Even though she is grateful for this medical intervention, I know Courtney is also pretty torn up, and sick with worry. Brenna's tiny, six pound body already expends so much energy constantly regrowing new skin cells that this poses a really serious threat to her health. If you have a minute, can you please say a prayer for this precious little girl and her family? It would mean the world to them right now.
