So on Tuesday, I now have a new baby brother. At 5:57pm Grant Lars was born at the same hospital, in the same OR room that I was. He weighted 6.05 pounds and was 18 inches long. He was cleaned up after saying hi to Mom and then off to the NICU where he will be while Mom recoups in her room. We can go see him anytime we want since it is open 24 hrs.We already knew that he was going to have some heart issues with the coarctation of the aorta and he will need to have surgery. So our cardiologist was able to take a scan at here at Rose and we will be off to Children's Hospital on Thursday of this week.
According to Dr. Carrie, he is going to need to have the tougher of the 2 surgeries and need to have open heart surgery and put on a bypass machine. That surgery is going to take about 5 hours or so. After that the recovery time is going to be a couple of weeks. So Mom and Dad will be travelling back and forth from the house to the hospital.
I am staying at the house with my dogs and Granny. I am also staying with Grandma, Gramdpa and Partner down in Parker. I hope to get out and stay with Grammy and Poppie since they just got home from Mexico.
Mom and Dad will be going back and forth from Childrens Hospital to home. It is only 20 minutes away from the house. Only one of them can stay in the NICU there so it appears that Dad will be coming home each night. Soon Grant will have his own website so he wont be using mine all the time.
I will be happy when he get's to come home though.....
