She added, \u201cI put on my brave face and asked what else the angels were saying. She couldn\u2019t keep her eyes open for long but promised to tell me more later.\u201d<\/p>\n
Early Celebration and Small Joys<\/p>\n
Earlier in October, the Bird family celebrated Christmas a few months early after Kendra shared that Brie\u2019s health had \u201ctaken a turn.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe decided to give her a blood transfusion to help her have some good days,\u201d Kendra wrote. \u201cIt lowered her heart rate, reduced her fever, improved her oxygen, and gave us great conversations!\u201d<\/p>\n
