Barrett has a new cousin!

Amanda and Pat had their baby!! They had a baby girl named Elizabeth Grace. She was born at 9:06 am and weighed 8 lbs. 9 oz. I was lucky enough (even though Del insisted he push me everywhere in the hospital in a wheelchair!) to tag along with Sue and Del to the hospital to await the news. It was all so exciting waiting in the waiting room for Pat to come around the corner to make the announcement. Once he arrived we were able to go see Amanda in the recovery room, but unfortunately the nursing staff had to take Elizabeth to the nursery to get some fluid out of her lungs. Later we found out that her sugar levels dropped very low, too. After eating lunch, Amanda was admitted into a private room and we waited by the nursery to meet Elizabeth. We were eventually allowed to enter the nursery one at a time with Pat. She is so adorable! After that we decided we better head for home so that Amanda and Pat could rest. A few hours later I got a call from Sue saying that visitors will not be allowed further tonight, because Elizabeth had a seizure and had to got to intensive care. :( Very scary! Needless to say, Amanda and Pat called Father Denis and he arrived to baptize Elizabeth. The doctors do not know why Elizabeth had a seizure, but please keep them in your prayers for this a very scary time for the family.
