Birth Status

Hello everyone. I would like to thank everybody for their kind words over this last week. For those of you who my not know, My wife gave birth to a little girl on Tuesday, June 22. Her name is Mackenzie Julia Laughlin. There we some complications though. It appears that Mackenzie was born with a bowel obstruction (where is connects from the large and small intestine. On friday, she went in for surgery and had the obstruction removed. She is doing fine now. She is not allowed to feed yet, but they do have her hooked to an IV. She is completely off of pain medication, and antibiotics, and we hope she can start feeding soon. Currently we are also waiting to remove a tube that is being ran down into her stomach that siphons off clear bile (which use to be pesto green.) We are hoping to get her home soon so badly, but health is the number on factor here. Once again everybody, Thank you. I was both scared and devastated when i found out there was something not quite right, but it was my family and friends that helped Katie and I get through this. From the bottom of our hearts (and Mackenzie's little one :) we thank you so much!
