Hello All,
Well, the day was quite eventful and Karen and Carson are both doing well. We thank everyone so much for their prayers.
The morning began with great excitement and anticipation. We started things off in the surgery prep getting the low-down on personal delivery stories from experienced moms (Mrs. Foster, Grandma Orr, and Aunt Ruth). The surgery went smoothly and Carson was officially born at 8:22am PST, 7lbs. 5oz. (sorry, no length specified yet...we'll get back to you).

The surgery went smoothly and Carson was officially born at 8:22am PST, 7lbs. 5oz. (sorry, no length specified yet...we'll get back to you).
Carson's cyst ruptured during the birth so his stay at Hollywood Pres. wasn't too long. We did get a chance to visit with him as they stabilized him and prepared him for transfer. The best part of the day was when we got to take a special trip to see mom one more time before leaving the hospital. Karen had only been able to briefly glimpse at him on his way out of the operating room, but on this trip she was able to both see and touch him for a little while.
At LA Children's, Carson has been getting tested and prepared for surgery. The neurosurgeon's evaluated him and he is stable enough to wait until tomorrow, which is a good sign. We are enjoying him every chance we get, and are so thankful to God for this wonderful blessing in our lives.
We know that His purpose and plan for Carson's life trumps any physical maladies that he may be born with. We serve a wondrous God who is capable of all things. Our prayer is that Carson will grow to learn how great a God He is as we do our best to raise him in His nurture and admonishment.Thank you all and continue to pray for Carson as we prepare for the surgery on his cyst tomorrow. Your love is so uplifting and we are humbled by the support our family has received. We will keep you posted as we learn more...
Oh, wow! He's a big boy! And Karen was still able to move? SO looking forward to when you get to bring him home for us all to fuss over!!! (Mom was SO lucky to be in the right place at the right time!)
