Sorry...no pics just yet. I keep leaving my camera out in the trailer when I get in here with internet access.
As you know, our precious little boy was born on March 25, 2010 at 1:05 pm. He was 6lbs 8oz and 19 inches long. He has a full head of dark hair.
After he was born, we quickly learned he has a heart defect that will require multiple surgeries over the next few years. His first open heart operation will be tomorrow.
We have watched him everyday, and he just seems to be such a strong little boy. He keeps his stats stable. The only one they have a problem with is his oxygen saturation...and the only problem with that is the little guy keeps it too high and they can't lower it. Thats a good thing because it means his lungs are strong, but the dr. would rather have it down a little.
Please continue praying for our family, and for the doctors and nurses who will be taking care of him. Please pray for our Jordan too. She hasn't been able to meet her little brother yet, and hasn't been able to spend very much time with Cody & I. She is being well taken care of because we have a wonderful family who have been amazing throughout this week, but she is still only 5 years old, and has a lot to deal with.
Stratton has a long road ahead, but we have faith that God will see him through this time and guide the doctors hands as they work to fix his little body.
