Hi everyone I now I've been away from the internet for a bit, my daughter went into early labor about a month early with some major complications for both the mom and child. So emergency C-section and everyone is fine.

So Liam Michael is now our latest addition and I can now breathe again. His lungs were under developed and he did have some fluid in them but he's thriving in NICU. Now I will need to drag my daughter out of the hospital doors tomorrow because she's discharged home but not Liam he's still got another week or two in. I'll post some pics of him soon.

So happy to hear mom and baby are OK..It's a drag that your daughter has to go home without baby,BUT it will be a tiny bit easier for her C-section recovery. Had two of those operations and it's not an easy recovery.

Cybrarian 07-29-2011 03:39 PM

So happy for all of you, congratulations Grama!

I, too, am thankful your daughter and grandson are doing well. 9 years ago our grandson, Liam Michael was born. Love the name!

J Carol 07-30-2011 05:09 AM

Congratulations on your new grandson Liam and good luck with getting you daughter home! Our dil had her little Lily early and she weighed 3# so she had to stay and dil lived at the hospital until they told her Lily couldn't come home to a mom that couldn't take care of her so she finally listened and came home but was there every day until Lily came home.

kacklebird 07-30-2011 05:13 AM

Congrats to you for the birth of your grandson! I love being a grandmother :) Glad to hear that everything is well with your daughter and your grandson. Hope the little guy gets to come home sooner.

Congratulations on your new grandson. I am so glad they are doing well. Hope he's able to come home very soon!!!

mythreesuns 07-30-2011 06:24 AM

Congrats on the new little bundle of joy. I said a prayer for continued health and growth. Glad mom and baby are doing better.
I so feel for your daughter, as I had this happen to me twice. Our first born stayed a month longer, and our last born 4 1/2 months longer. (all are married and doing excellent now) I had c-sections with all my pregnancies. The first one being the worse, as I was so very sick and was in grave danger. The traveling 90 miles one way for visits with our newborn baby.. was very exhausting.

jad1044 07-30-2011 06:33 AM

glad both are doing well, but I know "moms" feelings - hard to leave the little guy behind - but all too soon he'll be home and thriving... she needs the rest right now to get ready for his big homecoming day - Congratulations!

gramabear 07-30-2011 09:06 AM

I just got a new G grandson June 28.
Mom & baby Jayden doing fine

MargeD 07-30-2011 09:34 AM

Glad to hear that mother and son are doing well and that grandmother can be there for both.

grannypat7925 07-30-2011 10:11 AM

Glad all is well but I know it will be a long couple of weeks for her. Hope he progresses well and gets to come home sooner!

Annz 07-30-2011 06:12 PM

I'm so glad to hear that mommy and baby are doing well. I am so thankful for modern medicine too. Imagine how many lives are saved today that wouldn't have been many years ago. My friend's daughter just gave birth to twin boys at 24 weeks. They are a week old yesterday. They are fighting everyday to grow strong and healthy. Just imagine. Your little grandson is in my prayers.

heather1949 07-31-2011 01:13 AM

Maybe she can stay with him when his condition gets him out of the NICU? Glad all are well.
