April 9, 2009 – our son is here!
Our son was born Thursday April 9th 3-1/2 weeks before his due date. My water broke early morning and we ended up doing an emergency c-section due to bleeding. I spent three days in the hospital and came home April 12th, Easter morning. The baby has been in the NICU due to an undeveloped lung, fluid in the lungs, and trouble breathing. He is supposed to come home on Thursday. We had an amazing visit with him about a half an hour ago. I fed him from a bottle for the first time, he is also off of oxygen. They are increasing the amount of breast milk and decreasing the iv for every feeding. We just need his breathing to slow down and then he can come home. As soon as we got out of the car tonight Branson said “I want to see baby Damon” - he is starting to realize who this baby is. Branson got to officially “meet” his brother for the first time through the window at the NICU tonight. He is not allowed in the NICU unit so it has been tough to explain that to him. Please keep us in your prayers and we will keep you updated with his condition.

Thank you for the update! We have been thinking of you all and waiting for news. I am sure every improvement is a huge weight lifted. We pray your family is home together soon, healthy and happy. Love to you, chad and kelly
I hope you are doing ok now. Will jeanette come ou to help you as i know you will need it for a couple of weeks. Will Damon need to be on the apnea monitor during the night when he comes home? We are in Florida and will be going back to my cousin Kim’s in Baron Rouge on Thursday.
I see where Molly had a bridal shower in Little Rock but my Mom was not invited..I think that is terrible. I now she probably could not have gone because of Dad but it would have been nice to have been invited.
Tell Josh and Branson hello.
Love,
Aunt Susette

Hi,
We have been praying for you! And our whole church has been praying. I just wish we still lived in CA so I could be of some help to you. So sweet about Branson wanting to see Damon. We love you!
