update

Dear family and friends,

We wanted to share an update with you.

Our new little baby was born on Friday, September 16th at 5:27 pm. She weighed 8 lbs. 15 oz, was 22 inches long and is absolutely beautiful. We've named her ***** and her sisters are crazy about her. Mom and baby did well through the delivery and got a great start to our recovery. We spent the first two days cuddling together, absorbing how wonderful she is, learning her routines and watching U of U slaughter BYU.

As we spent time with her, we've had a few concerns develop regarding a mild fever and brief episodes of unusual movement. The doctors decided to keep her for observation and began a regimen of antibiotics. Our brave little girl has gone through several tests, some of which had normal results and others are still processing. We feel great about the care she is getting; we have wonderful nurses and doctors who are being very conservative and careful to consider all the possibilities. We anticipate she will remain here for a few more days for more antibiotics and observation.

We hope to have more answers soon and be able to bring her home. Your thoughts and prayers are deeply appreciated.
