Okay I am kind of known for being a worry wort, but also thought it was worth mentioning...
I just talked with Andrea earlier this evening and Brandon is still having trouble breathing when he feeds. His pediatrician said this happens sometimes and didn't seem too worried. He has improved since yesterday when he was having trouble breathing in general. However, he still spends a bit of time in the "sick" room of the nurses station where he is being monitored. At any rate, I am asking for prayer for him and for Andrea as this is her first baby... remember what that's like? Well, her first few days as a mother have been crazier than usual. Imagine waking up, knowing you must have had a baby, but there is no baby in your room. She didn't even know if it was a boy or a girl. Then to find out there are breathing complications ...meanwhile trying to comprehend everything has been challenging for her since she has been on pain killers from the C-section...I know I am rambling. I think she may be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, but it is unknown if Brandon will have to stay at the hospital or not. Thanks for your prayers.

Yes, I do remember the first time being a new mother and I will certainly keep both in my prayers. Oh, she must be so anxious. He's a little cutie though.
I spoke with my sister Toni who said Andrea will be staying in the hospital an extra night. They have her on bed rest because her swelling has not gone down. It actually got worse after the baby was born. Also Brandon is still in the nurse's station. Dan just visited tonight and brought them Quiznos subs. I guess Brandon is in an incubator for his jaundice.
Of course we will keep them in our prayers. I just finished preparing a meal to take to my niece who just brought her new baby boy home. It's amazing how child birth is so easy for some and very traumatic for others. Just remember God only gives us what we can handle. I am sure they will be home in no time with only the thoughts of eatting, sleeping and pooping :)
We will definetly keep her and Brandon in our prayers. God is watching over them....we pray He will provide her and him the strength to endure these next few weeks, and then added strentgh to survive the sleepless nights, ....
