3 Weeks of Sunshine


 Hi friends! My sister suggested this as a way people can check-in to stay updated when ya want, so we're giving it a try:) 
We lovvvve how much love there is for this little girl, and we SO appreciate alllllllllll the prayers & support. We FEEL it.  


Sunny is still breathing via intubation, she's on some medications that are allowing her heart to function but also have a known side effect of apnea. Before another extubation is attempted,  Dr's are wanting to insert a stent so that she's able to come off of those meds & then see if the apnea continues or not.  Currently,  she's scheduled for the stent Monday morning - first case🙏🏻

So for this weekend,  she's chilling.  They just upped her dosing as she's a growing lady💪🏻. She's an excellent communicator, and let's us & her nurses know when she needs a diaper change or suction.  She loves butt pats & having her hair combed by her Papa, and she lovvvves holding hands with her zebra stuffed animal.  She gets lots of compliments on her goose blanket, and several nurses & a cleaning lady have already ordered one of their own because she's got great style & is a baby influencer💅🏻


Prayer requests:

- For the procedure on Monday to go smoothly.

- For Sunny to respond well to not being on the meds anymore and be able breathe without apnea, and have a strong gag reflex & cough to protect her airway. 

Thank you so very much! Love Chris,  Alyssa & Sunny Good

      I’m a friend of Judy Sherwood and have known Chris and the Good family for years. My husband and I lift Sunny up in our prayers each day since she was born. We know this precious little one is having a tough start but watch out she will finish strong. God promises strength for our hard. Days so we know she is strong and will come out of this with a testimony that praises our Lord and the wonderful doctors and nurses who are helping her each day. Sending our love and prayers for a complete recovery from Mission Viejo, CA

"Sunny doesn't listen to any of the rules"

Monday at 11:50am, Dr George called to let us know they'd finished up inserting the stent, everything went well🎉 & they were working on getting her back in her room! She started off by saying,  "Sunny doesn't listen to any of the rules." I laughed & told her that's how she's been living her life. To which she replied,  "Yeah! She didn't listen to the chromosonal rules,  she didn't listen to the stent rules..." Sunny slept off the procedure for most of the rest of the day.  The Dr on this week said they'll most likely attempt to resume her "c-pap" breathing trials Today. She had previously done really well with those, but more recently was having more spells of apnea. We're hoping those will improve since taking her off of the heart meds - if it does improve, they'll likely attempt one more extubation.     It's true though. She's never doing the thing expected of her & we love that able about our girl...

  This week has been pretty relaxed for Sunny! She's resting up from Monday,  and we've adjusted some meds & are working on finding the perfect concoction for her.   Lately, she's been a little more irritable. Which we don't mind her sassy self, but it often raises her heart rate a bit too high and her blood oxygen levels get low.  Or,  she gets real feisty(again, we don't hate her fire) and starts to thrash. Making her breathing tube lose, requiring the respiratory therapy team to have to re-tape it. And that requires deeper sedation for the process, which could mess with her breathing.  They've had to re-tape her tube everyday for the last 4 days😬💪🏻 She's restarted her "c-pap" breathing trials,  & those have been going pretty well! Nurse Kate, whom we've had for the last 2 days & have again today,  said she thinks she's been doing really well overall🧡 Two of our favorite labor & delivery Nurses, as well as the Dr who d...
