Andrew Christopher Ryan was born on June 15, 2007 at 4:58pm. He's 22 inches long and approximately 8 pounds, 14 ounces. Unfortunately, he quickly faced severe challenges, including a diaphragmatic hernia that prevented his lungs from fully developing. He's fighting to get better, but it looks like it will be a slow process that includes advanced life support, extended critical care, multiple surgeries, and a long recovery period.
We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and love from our family and friends, but have been unable (both emotionally and logistically) to answer every phone call, email, and card. We want to thank everyone for their thoughts and caring, and though we haven't been able to respond, please be assured that we have heard and appreciated them all.
To this point, we have distributed information through just a few sources. We may rely on you further, but I hope to ease your burden by providing regular updates on this blog. I'll post pictures, news, and other information whenever I can...both during this ordeal and throughout his future (healthy) life.
