Alayna Update

Here are the latest photos and information I have received:


Keep praying for her. Everything was perfect until late in labor. Long story short, her brain was oxygen deprived for an undetermined amount of time. Possibly the cord being crimped or something. She's in intensive care at Univ. of Utah Hospital. I just arrived here in SLC this a.m. Baby Alayna looks great now. Color is good. They're using a hypothermia treatment to help her brain and other organs heal. She's making good progress. We'll know more after they bring her core temperature back up, and do an MRI on her brain. Kendra is doing pretty well physically. The entire family is stressed and sleep-deprived, but we're trying to catch up on sleep. Thanks for asking about her. Love, Katie

First of all - that litt;e girl looks so much like her mommy! And secondly - it's so nice to see Kendra smiling. We love you all and are constantly thinking of you and praying that thru faith and the modern miracles of healing, Alayna will be "up & running" at her pre-birth pace. Kudos to Kendra for doing everything right in HER power(pregnancy & WofW) to prepare her for this rocky start.
