Julie and I have had our little boy. We've named him David Coffman Kirby

He was born 6 1/2 weeks early, so he's been moved to Sutter Children's Hospital in Sacramento. He is on a ventilator at this time for hyaline membrane disease, which resulted in a minor pneumo on his left side, and pneumomediastinum. He's also on TPN as he doesn't have a suckle/swallow reflex developed yet. They plan to introduce mom's milk tomorrow though. And his pneumo is resolving. Should be off the ventilator soon.

For those of you without any medical training, that means his lungs were too premature, and he got air in his chest outside of his lungs, where it doesn't belong. He also gets all his nutrition through an intravenous catheter.

Otherwise, he's doing well. And so are we. But we'd all love a few positive thoughts sent this way. I'll update you soon again.
