Baby Greyson is Here!



     Greyson Elliot arrived at 4:05pm on May 4th via VBAC!!!!!! He was 7lbs even. He is currently in the NICU but he is doing well. Though we have to wait for official blood test results, we are sure that he does have Down syndrome (and obviously bilateral club feet).  Because his cute little muscles were so weak he was unable to clear the fluid out of his lungs like he needed to, so he is currently in the NICU while his lungs are retaining fluids. They have him on oxygen for now but do not think he will need it very long.  He will be X-rayed tomorrow to check for any heart abnormalities or bowel abnormalities which are common in male children with Down syndrome.  Please pray for Baby Greyson! 

I am doing well recovering from birth and cannot wait to hold our baby boy!
