Baby Gurganus is here!!!! Here is a note from George:
Firstly, Baby Boy
Deegan James Kirksey Gurganus was born 7:38 a.m. ..7lbs 14oz...19.5 inches long ... baby's lungs are not yet transitioned to being out here in our world yet... so baby needs assistance breathing and is in N.I.C.U. ... there have been some procedures done to help baby ... so Deegan has a few more tubes for air and fluid than daddy likes to see ...
Now, Mommy
Karen's surgery took quite a few hours ... Baby was out in 30 minutes ... placenta was another story... no real surprises ... we have been getting regular updates about procreta, encreata, and one other -creata... basically (Im sick of the word Placenta, so it shall be referred to as IT for the duration of this note) IT was doing everything it could do that is not good... IT was all over the uterus, IT found a way out of the Uterus, IT attached itself to things other than the Uterus lining ... for safety to mommy... Karen had a historectomy ... this decision WAS MADE prior to the surgery ... but also do to the placenta, I mean "IT", Karen had to undergo some bladder reconstruction surgery ... She is recovering but is wiped out, and will be out of sorts for awhile ... even with the extra surgeries involved, Karen did not lose any more blood than would be expected from a c-section ...she is recooping in a semi-regular room... not in ICU ... and baby has made some progress even since this morning... both need prayers.
