The past couple weeks, we have been anxiously awaiting the birth of our niece, Elizabeth. Kimberly and Wrenn have been counting the days. Christian and I even drove down to Plano, TX last week when Kimberly thought she was having her, but doctors said she was not ready. ;)
But we did get to spend some time visiting with my nephew Robert!
Christian LOVED helping take care of Robert!
Sweet cousins!
Finally the day came that Elizabeth would be born! Christian and I left Bella Vista at 7am and got to Plano, TX by noon!
We made in just in time!
Wrenn and Kimberly getting ready to deliver Elizabeth!
Elizabeth Ann Wooten
born June 30th at 1:50pm
6 lbs 10 oz.
Kimberly did great! She only had to push twice!
Shortly after Elizabeth was born, she was having trouble breathing on her own. They said it was probably just fluid in her lungs and they took her to the NICU for observation. Wrenn quickly followed the team of nurses to be with Elizabeth. But not before they allowed Kimberly to hold Elizabeth for a moment to bond...
I was able to snap this quick picture of Elizabeth and Kimberly. Her sweet little face and big eyes! Precious!
A couple hours after being in the NICU, they discovered that Elizabeth was born with a heart defect called Transposition of the Great Arteries. Where the left one is on the right and vice versa. She will have to undergo open heart surgery to correct it. We were all in shock. Kimberly and Wrenn have been very strong through this ordeal the past couple of days but are emotionally and physically exhausted. I ask that all of you who keep up with my blog to please pray for Elizabeth. Pray that she stays strong and has a successful surgery. This surgery has a high rate of success so we are all very hopeful and putting it into God's hands. He can heal! She was transported to Medical City Children's Hospital in Dallas where the surgery will take place at 7am on Tuesday. Thank you all for the many emails, texts, phone calls, etc. I received the past few days. We appreciate all the prayers more than you could ever know.
Please continue to pray for Elizabeth!
Thank you!
