They are here!

IT'S BOYS!

Gavin Woodfield Guy (Baby B), 3lbs, 9oz, born 4:11am this morning.
Colebank "Colby" Miller Guy (Baby A), 4lbs, 3oz, born 4:10am

Jennifer had a fever show up shortly after midnight (a sign of infection, which was a major risk with the early membrane ruptures). She went into labor shortly thereafter. A C Section was ordered and things moved fast after that. Dr Harden (one of our favorites) delivered.

Colby is doing great. No supplemental oxygen, looks wonderful, and is just getting some IV nutrition for now. Gavin is struggling a bit, but thankfully, has improved some this afternoon, and yes, looks wonderful as well. There are some serious (but treatable) issues with him, and I will go into further detail as we get more information and as he continues to respond, but basically his lungs and heart are not quite up to par in their combined function, effecting oxygen level (saturation) and blood pressure. Again, very serious, but treatable (curable). Keep him especially in your thoughts and prayers.

Jennifer is resting and is doing well. Emails may be the best method of communication for us right now. Needless to say, there is a lot going on, and rest/quiet time is hard to get here.

THANKS TO ALL OF OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS! IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE OF A CHALLENGE WITHOUT YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT!
SG, JG, GG, & CG (and our three pups at home)

This is from your Daytona Beach family. We are all praying for Gavin and Colby. Gavin will be fine. We have been praying since 12:20 this afternoon. Love, Diane (McSweeney) Clow and Family
