This is our newest nephew. He is Eric's oldest sister (Chereon)'s baby. He was born on October 9, and he was 3 weeks early. She was having diabete problems and was getting worse, so they induced her and he was born. He had trouble at first and his lungs collapsed, so he was flown to Primay Children's Hospital in SLC, Utah. He has been there for the last week and a half or so, and all the siblings (there are 6) have been here with us! wow... He had so many wires and gadgets hooked up to him that he was hard to even hold. He is doing lots better now and is working on eating on his own. He has had the feeding tube this whole time and didn't ever learn how to suck yet, so that is the hurdle they are trying to overcome now. He is finally home with his family and goes into the hospital every night to be weighed. I believe his feeding tube is coming out in the next day or two.
