My friend Farrah went into a regular appointment awhile back when they noticed that the umbilical cord was not giving enough nutrients to her baby. They kept monitoring it hoping that something would change, but it didn't. Long story short, they ended up inducing her at 34 weeks and she had her baby, Addison Lynn Handle on May 28,2011 at 12:57am. Addison weighed 2lbs15oz and was 16inches long. She is so tiny and is spending her first days of life at St.John's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
The last few days I have spent quite a bit of time in the hospital seeing Farrah and today I got to see her little one. She is in an incubator and has to stay there until she can regulate her body temperature and she is able to eat on her own. Right now she is hooked up to feeding tubes and IV's. She should be fine, but she is going to end up staying in the hospital for a while. No one knows if it will take a week, or 2 months... you can just never tell.
This has been a pretty crazy experience for Farrah, and I am sure it has been crazy for her baby too. I can't help but think about my baby and I hope that everything continues to go well and everything is okay.
Everyone please keep little miss Addison in your heart and prayers as well as Farrah, her boyfriend TJ, and the whole family. We want Addison to go home healthy and happy as soon as possible!
