Lilypie First Birthday tickers

He has arrived.

Quick post for now: 

Garrett Mason Caravia (arrived in true stubborn Caravia style) @ 3:47 a.m. this morning -- April 20, 2011

He was stabilized and transferred to Cardinal Glennon around 7:00 a.m. this morning.  I few litte hiccups, like he is quite "feisty" as the doctors told me and pulled his breathing tube out 3 times before they had to restrain him.  Apparently he wanted to breathe on his own :)  They told me he is "going to be a handful", which I kind of assumed from how he was in-utero.  He needs to have lot of fight in him to get through the next several weeks/months; so that is a good thing!

I (mom) am doing GREAT!  So is Paul (daddy), who went with Garrett and has not left his side.

Prayers are NOW needed more than ever.  He will HOPEFULLY have a farily smooth couple days before we begin the CDH rollercoaster.  Pics and lots more details coming soon!  I just had to get an quick update on here!!!!

  12. Loving Father, We lift up precious baby Garrett to You, asking that you allow this dear child life. Heal him we pray, Father. You are doctor of all doctors. We ask that you extend Your Almighty Powerful Right Hand over this child and heal him. Work a wonderous miracle in this family's life God so that they may testify of your love and mercy. Direct the hands of all who will be tending to Garrett's needs. We pray that You give his family strength, and comfort their souls. Place a peace in their hearts. Touch them in a way that only You can so that they may place all of their trust in You. In Your Name we pray. Amen & Amen
