He's Here

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here you are:   grrrr--I am not happy with blogspot.  It won't let me download the cutest picture in the whole wide world.  Of course that would be a picture of our new grandson!  He's adorable!  I'd really like to give him and the rest of his family a big hug, but I'm afraid that will have to wait for 7 months.

Anyway, we praise God for this new life.  We think all is well, though he has had us wondering.  At least the doctors have had us wondering.  He developed some sort of rash the day after he was born, and the doctors seemed very concerned about it.  So far, all tests have been negative, but they are waiting for the results of a few cultures.  They have him on medication just to be on the safe side, so he will remain hospitalized until they are certain he's okay.  He's in a "transition room" in the NICU, and Eric and Val can stay right there in the room with him.  Other than the rash, he seems to be fine.

I keep trying to download the picture but it's not working.  Our "high speed" internet has been very slow--slower than usual--the last few days, so that may be the problem.  Usually it's a tad faster in the evening, but it's almost midnight and it's still slow.  One other time it was so slow that I couldn't even enter a new post.  That particular night I was wide awake in the middle of the night so came out to see if it would work then--success!  I'm not hoping for a bad night's sleep, but if it happens I will try.  You just have to see how cute he is!
