I became a Grandpa for the third time on Saturday!

Baby boy was born around 2:45 pm Saturday afternoon. He's approx 7 weeks early so he was a very little guy!
He was 4 lb & 5oz and 17 1/2 inches long. He's currently in NICU at Kosair Childrens in Louisville. He's doing well enough that they were able to remove the Oxygen earlier today! He's still having to be fed through a feeding tube so all prayers for little Tucker will greatly be appreciated!

It's the first boy we've experienced as we raised 3 girls and have 2 grandaughters already!

My daughter had preclampsia which is brought on by high blood pressure so they had to take teh baby to prevent harming the Mom!

Excellent news!

Glad to hear that despite the complications, all went well for both mom and "little Tucker".

Oh, I forgot to mention one small but fun detail!

I should never have trouble remembering his birthday!
4-3-21 That should be locked in my brain for a long time!

I am happy for you!
I now have six grandchildren (3 boys and 3 girls).
My daughter and two boys are visiting from Columbia, TN, at this time. It is a special time when we have a visit from the children and grandchildren.
I certainly hope that everything goes well for your daughter and the baby.

Momma has been released and is coming home today! Tucker will probably be a few weeks before he is released!

Mom came home yesterday. Tucker is still growing. He's ben removed from oxygen and they've had to increase the amount of formula intake because he wasn't getting enough!

I am a lucky man and Grandma is still glowing. She hasn't gotten her hands on that baby boy but I think it will happen pretty soon!

Sounds like he just might be a UK linebacker one of these days.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 04-09-2021, 04:36 AM:

He had regular clothes on yesterday and he's up to 20 ml of formula. Took half of it through a bottle. It's a slow process but getting positive results every day
