Brianna 1st visit in Texas & Texas Children's.
"Brianna you are gonna see the house that daddy grew up in." he says getting in the van and securing her to the car seat.
She seemed happy about that.
"Okay mom we are good to go." he says after he buckles himself in in the backseat.
Kevin played with Brianna during the long car ride to his childhood home.
"Kevin what till you see the crib I got her it's just adorable." His mom says happily from the front seat.
"Thanks mom, but I brought her pack n play to sleep in." he says from the back seat.
"No granddaughter of mine, in sleeping in that thing during their visit." His mom says.
"Okay if you went through all that trouble. I guess she can sleep in it and safer too." he says checking on Brianna as she was looking out the window.
"Plus your mother had me redo your whole room like a garden theme for Brianna." his father says driving.
"Just wait till you see it" his mom says joyfully from the front seat
"I'll take your word for it mom." Kevin says as they keep driving
They arrived at the house a couple minutes later. Kevin got Sophie out, so she can do her business, and he got Brianna out of her car seat and took her inside the home he grew up in.
"Well here we are sweet girl welcome to daddy's childhood home." he says when he gets in the front door with her.
He starts heading upstairs with her to his room that he had when he was a little boy.
"Here Brianna is daddy's bedroom, and look nana gave you your own crib to sleep in." he says when he enters his new bedroom.
He sees there is a changing table close by the crib, and some toys that she can play with.
"I think nana outdid herself this time." he says laying Brianna on the changing table to change her.
Once Brianna had a dry diaper on her Kevin placed he in the crib to play while he unpacked. After he unpacked, and organized all of Brianna's clothes. That he is going to leave there when he come back next month for Christmas. He takes her to the playroom where there were more toys for her.
"Well doodle bug I guess you will be entertained that's for sure" he says when he sees his one niece come in followed by his brother who was carrying his nephew.
"Hey little bro when did you get in?" his brother asks grabbing a toy for his son to play with.
"A little bit ago, and did you see how mom redid my room?" Kevin asks
"Yeah why did she do it all girly for?" his brother asks while he plays with the baby.
"Cause I want you to say hello to your new niece Brianna Miracle McHale" Kevin says introducing his brother to Brianna.
"Hey sweet girl it's nice to finally meet you." his brother says tickling Brianna's belly causing her to giggle with glee.
Kevin and his brother talk as they play with their kids, and after a while Brianna started to get hungry.
"I get the message my little bee come on I'll take you down for a bottle." Kevin says carrying an unhappy Brianna down the stairs for a bottle.
Luckily Kevin sent his mom the information about the formula Brianna was on, so she can have it there when he got in.
"Here you go Kevin one warm bottle for Brianna." His mom says handing him the bottle.
"Thanks mom you're the best" he says taking the warm bottle and going to feed Brianna in the family room.
Brianna drank the entire bottle in fifteen minutes. After she was fed Kevin burped her, and took her upstairs for a diaper change.
"There we go all better now. You ready to go meet your cousins Brianna?" he asks carrying her back to the playroom.
"I was just telling Claire about Brianna." his brother says when he sees Kevin come back.
"Oh Claire would you like to meet your new little cousin?" Kevin asks his niece.
Claire nods happily.
"Come over here, and I'll let you hold her." He says smiling.
Claire goes and washes her hands, and comes back with dry hands. Ready to hold her cousin. Kevin takes this opportunity to take some pictures of Brianna with her cousins, and her uncle. After a while Brianna started to get fussy, and wanted her daddy.
"Come here munchkin." Kevin says when his brother hands Brianna back to him.
"She is a true daddy's girl that's for sure." His brother says when Brianna got comfortable in Kevin's arms.
"That's for sure bro she is my true princess." Kevin says hugging Brianna close to him.
Because of the time change Brianna missed her afternoon nap, and Kevin did his best to keep her until dinner time, and while he was feeding her she started to doze off in the high chair.
"Say night night Brianna" Kevin says carrying Brianna up to his room to lay her in the crib to snooze.
"Night sweet girl" he lays laying her in the crib.
Once Kevin laid her down he grabbed the monitor and headed downstairs to join his family for dinner.
(Three hours later)
"Brianna should be up from her nap by now" he says looking at the clock that was on the wall.
Kevin heads upstairs to get Brianna from her nap he didn't want her to sleep long. If she slept too long she will be up all night.
"Wake up sleeping beauty" he says coming into his room to get her. When he entered he saw her head was swollen and that scared him to pieces.
"Mom, dad can you take me to the hospital? There is something wrong with Brianna" Kevin says coming downstairs with Brianna in his arms
"Sure son come on I'll take you to the best hospital Texas Children's to get her checked out' his dad says grabbing the keys to the van.
Kevin buckles Brianna in, and gets in front with his dad and together they head for the hospital. The whole way to the hospital Kevin kept checking on Brianna to see if she was still breathing.
"Kevin I'm gonna drop you off, and park the van" his dad says as they pull up to the emergency room.
Kevin nods as he gets out to get Brianna and heads into the emergency room to get her checked out.
"Yes my daughter's head is very swollen, but she is still breathing" Kevin says to the receptionist
"Okay come right through this door and we will get her registered" the receptionist says smiling.
Brianna gets hooked up to monitors, and has an I.V inserted into her arm. Then after a while she is taken to have an MRI done of her brain to see what is going on.
(Four hours later)
"Well Mr. McHale it seems that Brianna here a fluid on her brain, so with your permission of course we need to operate to relieve the fluid, and put a shunt in to help drain some of the fluid the builds up behind her brain" the doctor says coming in with results of her MRI
"Of course anything to have my little girl back" Kevin says signing the permission slip to sign consent for Brianna's surgery
Kevin carries Brianna who woke up to the operating room. Along the way he picks up his dad, so he can have some company in the waiting room while waiting to hear about the surgery.
"Sweet heart the nice doctors are gonna relieve some pressure that you have in your head. Don't worry daddy and pappy is going to be right in the waiting room, and is going to see you before you go to bed.' Kevin says laying Brianna on the operating table and giving her a kiss good-bye.
