Update On the Baby!

I don't even know where to start. I'm soooooooooo sorry I haven't updated you all on my mom and the baby. I've been insanely busy lately. I actually did start writing a blog post, but I never finished it.

Ok. The baby was born @ 29 weeks by emergency c-section two nights ago on August 29. He is 2.6 pounds and 14.5 inches long. There are many complications that can occur when the baby is born so young. One of the main concerns that the doctors have had was that, without amniotic fluid, there was a possibility that the lungs would not develop properly, and they would not be able to complete the respiration process. The first problems they noticed were that his lungs were underdeveloped for his age, and he had a low red blood cell count. He was given oxygen immediately, as well as a blood transfusion. Thankfully, he has been improving since then.

So today when we arrived at the hospital, the doctors had found that he has some bleeding on the brain. This could result in a number of things, including mental and/or physical disabilities. We're hoping and praying that God will intervene and heal him of this problem.

I want to thank everyone who has been praying this whole time, and to ask you to continue praying. Also I want to thank the people who have posted prayer requests on their blog regarding my mom and the baby.

Oh, wait...did I forget to mention his name? Oops :P His name is Justin Nicholas Wegner :D

I'll try to keep you all updated! :D

God Bless!

In Christ,
Kevin

Lord, I ask again for You to bring life and peace to this situation with baby Justin. Thank You for the precious child to whom You've granted life. I pray that he would inspire faith in each person his life touches. Please give Kevin and his mom and the family extra strength, patience and GRACE for the demands of this time. Amen.

I'll definitely be praying for your family in this situation, Kevin. Even though we've never met, the bond that Christ gives us will enable me to pray for you with peace in knowing that God is in control. He will guide you in the decisions to come! BTW, great blog. Keep up the good work.
