Welcome Hinckley James

On April 5th,we got a call from Nick and Dana. Dana had been to the doctor and it was discover that she had Choleostasis. Which indicates that the liver and kidney are not functioning correctly. Also, the amniotic fluid was low and the cord was wrapped around the baby's neck. At that point, we got nervous and thought that the baby would have to come early but all would be ok. We had a family prayer and fasted. Then, we got a call that Dana was in the hospital. Labor had started and they were trying to stop it. To make a long story short, a few day later and after lots of nervous moments of about Dana's health and the health of the baby, Dana had a c-section. We were so excited to meet little Hinkley on Skype! He was screaming and I was so happy to hear that strong set of lung. He weighed 4'3 lbs but healthy. The next fear was Dana. She had some health issues. It felt so hopeless to see the fear in Nick's eyes and not be able to be there with them! I cried so many tears for them! A mom never stops feelings of love,care and concern for her son no matter how old he is! And that love, care and concern immediately extends to his wife and children when they come along! Love is an amazing thing! Thanks to lots of prayers, Dana and Hinckley at both doing well! Dana has been released from the hospital but I think Hinckley is still in a room at the hospital. Dana's mom is with them and I know they are loving having her there. I feel so much gratitude for their friends in china who took such good care of them!
