Congrats on new grandbaby on the way! I can't remember, is this Baldur's first grandchild or are there some already? Regardless, hope all goes well and that little Kanye Wolfgang is healthy and hale.

That came out a little garbled but the link works. Why does my computer do that?

Happy Birthday Kanye Wolfgang!

Baldur

Our joy at his birth is tempered with concern.
Kanye was born with a serious birth defect. His esophagus is not fully formed and as such his mouth is not connected to his stomach. The doctors say that though it is a rare birth defect it has been corrected without complications often enough.
He is being airlifted to a larger hospital in the morning.
Kanye is otherwise a very robust and loudly vocal baby.

Had to post this article to show how bad our winter was last year.

Hope all is well with the new grandbaby, it's amazing what can be done in newborns medically. My nephew was born with the arteries of his heart reversed and was in heart surgery at 2 or 3 days old, now he's 4 years old and you'd never know he had such a scary start, there's just no stopping him. I'm sure little Kanye Wolfgang's surgery will come along well and he'll be good to go in no time.

Congrats Baldur! Our church family had a little girl born with that birth defect! She is now in her second year of COLLEGE! May your grandson be completely restored.

Baldur

Baldur has done a bit of reading on this subject. The condition is called esopageal atresia and 1 in every 4000 babies has some form of it. With those odds it's surprising that it isn't more well known.

Testing was done yesterday and there appears to be enough esophagus there to make a simplest of the available options doable.
In any case he will spend at least the next 3 weeks in the hospital.

Kanye's surgery is 7:30 AM Pacific Time.

Baldur

Happy Birthday to Nylecoj, indigo, Fay Wray and Agatha Christie.
