Ian Randall arrives

February 21st, 2005

IanOur son Ian Randall was born 2/17 at 1:39AM. He is 8 lbs 11oz and 20.5″ long. He’s got a full head of dark hair already. Unfortunately he’s been having a lot of trouble with his oxygen saturation. The official diagnosis is pneumonia, but the doctors aren’t quite sure that’s exactly what’s wrong. He’s also had a bit of a heart murmur, but that seems to be clearing up. He’s still in the NICU, and will be at least until next Sunday. Obviously I’ve let things get a bit stale on my site during all the craziness, and don’t expect me to get too much up-to-date for a bit. We’ll be spending a lot of time at the hospital visiting Ian. Please keep us all in your prayers.

Eventually I will catch up with the WP world too and update my Flickr gallery plugin to be WP 1.5 compatible. But it might still be a while.

Update: I’ve posted some pictures of Ian here and here.

    I stumbled on your site looking at that Flickr plugin and noticed that you just had a child. Congradulations! I just found out a couple weeks ago that I will be a father. Check out my wife and I’s pregnancy blog at http://www.neal-family.com.

    I will definitely keep you and your baby in my prayers. I pray he gets better soon.

    Congratulation. I am sorry if I have annoyed you with my stupid question about flickr plugin while your wife and you were living this beautiful moment. Bye, Fabio

    PS I will pray for you. My nephew had heart problem and so I know how much you are in trouble.

    Take it easy and try to make the most of the new arrival! We can manage without an updated Flickr gallery. Some things are more important than others.
