NEWSFLASH!!

(This is slightly old news due to our internet problems from before...)

Baby Caleb Zachary Reyes arrived on Friday, October 9th! Both baby and mother are doing just fine now, all praise be to the Lord.

We really appreciated your prayers for them, because actually he almost died. Friday around 9pm she had an ultrasound that showed two major concerns. The first thing is that the chord was wrapped around his neck. And secondly, the water level is supposed to be between 8 and 16, the week before it was at a healthy 12, but that Friday it was down to 2! He had been at full gestation and was ready to come, but because the chord prevented him from coming down, the water apparantly was slowly draining. Her water never actually broke. So shortly after 11pm they did an emergency C-Section, and he was born at 11:20. There was basically no water left when they went in, and because of the problems caused by that, he could not breath at first. They gave him oxygen for a little while and then he started to breath on his own after awhile.

Praise be to the Great Physician that He took care of them both. Any little mistake or mis-timing may have resulted in permanent damage. But he is a very normal looking and healthy 9 lb baby! Jennifer looks great too; in fact, she didn´t even look tired! Marcus looked even more tired the next morning than she did!
