Coburn Kids

Just wanted to give everyone an update on our little baby boy. Caden is weighing in at 1 lb. 13 oz. now. He had a hole in his heart called a PDA that is normally used when the baby is still a fetus to pass oxygen to their blood and that has closed up. His white blood cell count is still very low and they are running urine and spinal tests to find out if he might have an infection. They are doing another echo on his heart to check for pulmonary hypertension.

He’s under the bili lights again for jaundice so is stylin’ with sunglasses. He’s a tiny little guy but his daddy and I just adore him all ready. His mommy thinks he has big feet and he only opens his eyes when he’s annoyed. Next week we meet with Caden’s cleft team at Primary Children’s Medical Center so we’ll let you all know how that goes.

In the meantime, Genevieve adores Kindergarten. She’s all ready made friends and is so excited to go every morning. Adessa had her first official day of Preschool today and made a butterfly. She’s the happiest little girl in the world because she gets to wear a backpack just like her big sister now to school. The girls will get to meet Caden next Monday when I go in for my check up at the hospital with their High Risk Ob’s. They are very excited about their baby brother and ask questions constantly about him. They are happy to have mommy home again with them.
