Averie's Birth

She did great, as I am sure you have heard. Once again, God has surprised the doctors, but not us! She is my biggest girl, 7 lbs even but short like the others, 18.5 inches long. Her hair, not much up there, but what we see is dark. That is how all mine start out. She screamed and screamed at her birth, something I prayed VERY hard to hear! I cried and cried and rejoiced!Her heart is doing great, she was under the oxygen hood for a couple hrs, but nothing since then. Her cardiologist is awesome and you could hear him smiling through the phone when he gave me her first update. We do not know much about the cyst or her enlarged colon. Cyst is still there, smaller at 4.4 cm. We will know more today, PLEASE PRAY FOR GOOD NEWS! You never know what is going on inside these little babies.Don has been up there the whole time with her except for overnight, at her hospital. He has done an excelent job on sending me pictures and video. He should get to hold her today. She cannot eat yet, and has been off and on fussy, but she seems fine. Big brothers and sisters are doing great with Grandma, of course, unaffected. Don's parents were proud to hear of this miraculous birth of their 22nd grandchild, and having a 6th granddaughter! The doctors now need wisdom more than ever as they get together and plan treatment for her. Will she need surgery right away or go home and grow first, if she keeps this up! What kind of cyst she has and so forth. I cannot tell you how much your prayers have meant to us and Averie's life and awesome start. I do not count any of it lightly! Thank you and there will hopefully be more awesome news to come today. I know there may be things we do not want to hear, but God always gives the right amount of GRACE!I just called to check on her at 215 and she has had NO changes!
