Update on Luke...

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday! Some of you expressed concern about Luke’s health so I wanted to give you the update. After a few uncertain days in the special care nursery he was diagnosed with transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN). It affects 1-2% of babies and is basically a rapid breathing condition caused by fluid that remains in the lungs after birth. He was put on an IV and precautionary antibiotics due to an elevated white blood cell count. Fortunately, he passed all the tests including the heart diagnostics. Also that club foot the nurses told us he had turned out to be positional (that was the jabbing into my belly button for 3 months). We will be referred to a pediatric orthopedic, but it should be correctable.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We feel very blessed and excited to have this little boy in our family. Have a happy New Year!!!

Prayer request

Hi everyone -
Please keep my dad in your prayers. He fell & broke his left arm today - the break is too high to cast, so the option is a sling or surgery to put a rod in the bone. Those decisions will be made soon. He is home right now in a sling. We are leaving to see my parents on Sat. for 1 week. Hope y'all have a Merry Christmas
Thanks,
Karla (& Keenan)

Welcome, Luke!

Hey Everyone,

We just wanted to let everyone know that the new addition to our family is here. Luke William was born at 11:13 pm on December 19, 2007. At birth he weighed just over 8 lbs, and he was 20.5 inches. Luke seems to be having a little trouble adjusting to life outside the womb, so the nurses are keeping a close eye on him. Other than that, he is doing well and so is Janessa. Also, Hannah is extremely excited to have a little brother.

Attached is an early picture of our new little guy.

Thanks for all your support!
Michael & Janessa

I even got to meet one of the little boys and he gave me a hug. Thanks again for all of your hard work. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!!!!
