Baby coming quick

[2fpower]

Hello all-

Please keep in your prayers Andrew (MOFJ40) and Kellie. Tomorrow is the big day where they are going to welcome a baby into this world.

Unfortunately, this little angel is coming into the world with some problems. She is a "Gastro" baby -- that has some of her intestines growing outside of her belly. There is a an extremely high surival rate for this condition, but please keep them in your thoughts.

So, how are mom, dad and baby doing??

Thanks for the post Kelly.

We're doing really good, all things considered. My daughter Alice was born on the 23rd and is currently in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). She's had 2 surguries to repair her intestine, which was outside her body when she was delivered (gastroschisis). She's recovered very well so far. We're waiting for her intestines to start working properly, which will take a few more weeks. Until that point she's being nurished via Broviac central IV. Once she's fully functional she'll be switched over to milk and allowed to come home. She should have a normal life from that point onward.

On a related note, I sold my FJ40 2 weeks ago, so I'm currently down to the wife's FJC and an 85 Supra I picked up to commute in. One of these days I'll get another 40/45/55, but for now I don't have the time or disposable income to spend so I let it go to someone who can enjoy it.
