Strong and Vigorous

Carla and Tyler had a very rough labor and delivery and, as a result, Tyler was admitted to the NICU at St. Joe's on Thursday morning. He has had low blood sugar levels and experienced a couple of seizures in the days following his delivery. The seizures were caused by blood that was found in his spinal fluid. The overall stress of the delivery caused the blood in his spinal fluid and also caused him to have low blood sugar. He will continue to stay at St. Joe's in the NICU through next week, if not longer, for additional testing and observation. Tyler's neurologist said that he was a vigorous and strong baby and the overall big picture looked good which was great news! Tyler is in good hands with the many wonderful doctors and nurses continuing to monitor his progress. Please keep Rob, Carla and Tyler in your prayers. We hope Tyler will be healthy enough to go home real soon!

Tyler with his proud parents!
