Leo (middle name as yet undecided) Anderson was born at 11:00 am this morning.
Weighing in at 7 lbs, 12 oz and 19 in long. He has a small tear in his lung though and is leaking air into his chest cavity, which is putting outside pressure on his lung making him wheeze for air. The doctors say its not terribly unheard of and they are monitoring him closely. Best case scenario has him in our arms tomorrow sometime. Worst case, they'll have to go and remedy the pressure by hand. My wife Leah (some of you have met here at FFC's of years past) is having a hard time taking it since she only got to hold him for about a minute in the O.R. before they wheeled him away and she's stuck in bed until 11 pm tonight. Leah and I would very much appreciate your kind thoughts and prayers. Thanks |

Baby steps...
Good news is he's making progress, steadily, if slowly. The nurses think the biggest hurdle he has lright now is learning to swallow. The doctors are confident the lung is healing well. No signs of infection. He's just not eating real well. Looks like he may have also inherited the family bane....reflux. He seems to latch on well and sucks good. (atta boy!) I think he's made real progress though. He's a lot more attentive now, studying the things and people around him in earnest. Thanks again for all the kind thoughts and prayers. Photobucket Album for Leo Wow....looks like I should lay off the donuts a little... We reall are blessed. There are a lot of other little girls and guys in there that are far worse off than my little man, so throw some kind thoughts and prayers their way too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Bob, I have a pair of twin cousins that were born way early back in '76. They were both under one pound each. You could hold both in the palm of one adult hand. I don't know how many months they were in the hospital before getting to go home. They turned out alright in the end. But even being that close to such a thing didn't do anything to prepare me. Its just a real show-stopper to be told there's something wrong with your new little baby. All of your life priorities change in a real flash. Anyway, things are looking up and I thank you all for your kind thoughts, stories and prayers. They do make a difference. |
