I'm a first time grandma! - update baby is sick.

[soapbuddy]

My DIL gave birth at 4:30 this morning to a 9 lb. 14 ozs. boy named Ivan. He is 22" long and stocky. His newborn clothes don't fit him. Mom is tired, but very happy it's over. Grandma is tickled pink; erh blue.

Congratulations Irena! He is a big boy isn't he? Sounds like he will be healthy and strong, which is excellent. I am glad they are both doing well.

Thank you. Just talked to my son. It seems the baby has a blood infection. I'm not sure what the doctors are going to do about it. He said they hope mom and baby can still go home tomorrow.

 

[MikeInPdx]

Please keep everyone posted on how Mom and baby are doing.

Update:
My son's baby has a blood infection and jaundice. DIL has very low iron count and anemia, yet they want to release her from the hospital today. DS is very stressed and frustrated. His insurance has changed and DS will be responsible for 20% of the total bill. His share is now around $5,000. The doctor tried to convince DIL that she needs a blood transfusion, but she refused as it is against her religion. Her doctor got upset and walked out. What kind of a doctor is this?!!!

The hospital does not have a nursery like they used to have in the olden days. They will be transferring the baby to pediatrics, but one parent has to stay with the baby 24/7. I suggested to son that he contact the admin. office at the hospital before DIL is released, because once DIL is released and no longer under their care, nothing will happen. As you can see I am very frustrated too.

So sorry to hear that such a joyous event has turned into a stressful situation for all.

Sending good thoughts your way that Mom and baby are on the mend and doing better real soon.
