Kyle was born about 2am on Sat. morning. by 4am it was discovered that the esophagus did not properly attach to his stomach. So by 7 he was at
Loma Linda Medical Center for further
evaluation and surgery. We are so blessed that it was discovered so quickly. Since Katie was still at San Antonio Hospital, (We were also
grateful that
Katies Mom was able to be here to be with Katie) Brad and I went to
Loma Linda Hospital. Brad was very kind about the fact that his mom doesn't drive freeways and so it took over an hour and a half to get there, when normally it is a 30 minute trip.
In the
NICU was the most beautiful newborn I have ever seen. Lots of hair, a good healthy color, and Anderson feet. He looks like Katie.
He had surgery today at about 10:30, it was
successful, and as I am typing, he is going into recovery.
These are all pictures from yesterday before the surgery and all the tubes and things that will be sticking out of him for a while. He will be in the
NICU for 2 weeks to a month. Brad was so cute with him. Talking to him, giving him a pep talk. I was so glad to be able to spend this special time with him and his beautiful son, my first grandson. All the cute clothes I bought aren't going to work with all the tubes that will be in him for awhile. So I get to shop in the morning....oh darn.
The tube in his mouth is to suck out the
secretions, since he couldn't swallow them. He didn't like it and kept pulling it out. He also pulled out his IV. We love him so much already. I was so glad to get a chance to love him, hold him and talk to him yesterday.
