Hi everyone! This is Brittany, Crystal's best friend. Bentley has been doing tons better today. The first picture that I am posting is from yesterday, but all of the others are from today. You can tell the HUGE difference in yesterday and today. Her fever has been up and down, but as of right now it has broke. She has had problems keeping things down as of last night and this mornig which caused her to get dehydrated, so they had to put in another IV. Right now so far so good, everything is staying down. Praise God! They did get her X Rays back, and found out that there is slight fluid around her heart and her lungs. Due to this, they have increased her medicine to get this under control. Please pray for this medicine to work. There will be other actions they will have to take if it does not clear up. She has been a HAPPY girl today! Mommy says they have had a day full of smiles and ALMOST a few laughs, she has been a busy bee. Playing with anything and everything!! Papaw (Crystal's Dad) drove Bryson home this afternoon so he could play baseball with his team. Which they WON (WOO HOO) and will now be going to city tournament! Crystal and Ryan are so very proud of this boy. They NEVER miss a game I know it's killing them to not be there. Bryson and Papaw are now heading back to Houston, please pray for them a safe trip home. And Nana (Crystal's Mom) and Brenna stayed in Houston today, to spend the day with Crystal, Ryan, and Bentley. Please pray that everything only gets better. And for another wonderful happy day tomorrow.
OMG I just want to squeeze her to pieces! I love it!Love and Hugs

A BIG thank you to Brittany for keeping us up to date. Yesterday was torture not knowing what was going on. Thank you Lord for best friends! With such a big family, we all want to be there and hold on to Crystal & Ryan, Debbie & Micky. It is comforting to know that Brittany is there to do that for us. We've never met, but we LOVE you Brittany!
