Baby Coop is here! His name is Colby Edward. He was born 10/29 at 10:20 after a whirlwind birth. He weighed in a 6 lbs 7 ozs and was 20 inches long. More details and some pictures to come...
Right now we covet your prayers because he was admitted to the hospital Monday evening for jaundice. A normal level is 4-6 and Colby was at 22.9 Monday night. He was really lethargic all day Monday, hardly ate at all, and was struggling to make poopy diapers. We were lucky to get maybe half an ounce in him all day. So Monday night he was hooked up to an IV and put under the special lights. He does get to wear pretty cool sunglasses! Things definitely started improving yesterday. His level was down to 19 at 6 am and he started eating more, about 12 -15 cc’s (half an ounce) per feeding. Last night though he started making his major comeback! At 6 pm his level was at 14.2 and last night he averaged about 2 ounces per feeding! He is also starting to have lots of poopy diapers! They just checked his levels and it’s down to 12!! So hopefully Colby will be healthy enough to come home today. Please keep us in your prayers!
