My husband's close friend and his wife welcomed a baby boy into their lives in November. Jalin was born on 11-15-04 with some scary, but repairable complications. He has a small hole in his heart, a non-functioning esophagus, and his rectum was not connected to his colon. He was premature and very small, but was finally able to come home on New Year's Day. He will have heart surgery in March or April (whenever he's gained enough weight) and the other two surgeries will follow after the appropriate waiting periods between each procedure.
His Mommy is having a horrible time dealing with all of this. She had a breakdown on Monday and is on meds, but they haven't kicked in yet. She's very emotional and under a huge amount of stress. They also have a 5 year old daughter who doesn't understand any of this.
Could you please keep all of them, but especially Stacy right now, in your thoughts? She's so stressed out from dealing with the feeding tube, the colostomy bag, the heart monitor, etc.
Meanwhile, isn't he cute?!?!?
