Our Precious James

On Monday we had to bring James in to the pediatrician to check on his breathing. He has struggled ever since he was born, but he starting having reflux issues and it amplified his breathing problem.

 

When he got upset, his lips were turning blue and his chest was sinking in real bad trying to breathe. We decided to take him in on Monday morning to get checked again (we had him looked at when he was circumcised and they said it was fairly common) and after the Dr looked at him he sent us to the ER at Shands.

 

He has had a lot of tests run over the past 2 days, and they have determined the problem is severe enough that it need surgery. So he is scheduled to have surgery on Thursday at 4pm. Please pray all goes well and for a quick recovery. It should only last an hour or two and then they will monitor him at least 24 hours afterwards to make sure he is breathing on his own ok,

 

 

James's first smile was in the hospital!

 

Dominoes

There's more than one way to play....... Christian and Felicity were playing dominoes this morning, stacking them and having them fall over, and felicity decided to write their names with em (sorry that the lighting is poor quality... My phone:-(). Pretty creative, I thought!

Swimming

Last Saturday we took the kids to blue springs for an hour.... The mornings the best time to go, there's hardly anybody that comes then! The kids really enjoy swimming, and felicity loves jumping off the dock.

Catching up

These are some beautiful flowers Justin got me after James was born.....

 

Jonathan loving on James. He loves to hold him and tightly might I add :-)

Matt and Fran stopped by to meet James... Weston looks so grown up now!

Justin also got a balloon to put outside...

Savannah nursing her baby while mommy feeds James!

 

Jonathan likes to touch his face too....

First bath

James first bath.... And of course he didn't like it, even though it was just a sponge bath! After his bath he was peeling like crazy, even his head and ears... weird I know! 

   On a side note for weird, before he was five days old, I had already clipped his fingers twice! 

James Elliot Maynard

     James has arrived, safe and sound... We are so thankful to The Lord, for his mercy and provision, giving me the desires of my heart.

     James was born on July 10th, at 4:59am. He weighed 9lbs 1oz and was 21 3/4 inches long.

      Thank you for all your prayers....
