William is here

Im sorry that its been so long since I popped in. While I should have had lots of time to post online while I was sitting in the hospital room I just couldnt bring myself to do anything other than stare at the t.v.

Anyway William my son came a week ago on ST Patrick's day, sixish weeks early

While he is not entirely healthy he is doing pretty well.

Absent septum pellucidum is what William has. It happens in 2 out of 100,000 people. It can cause seizures and lead to blindness and is one of the main causes for blindness. Hopefully none of those happen. But that's what the doctor's are mainly concerned about as of right now. They are going to go and do a in-depth eye exam that involves numbing his eyes and going in to see if he has vision in his eyes... Of course nothing will tell for sure whether or not he can see 100% except time. But I'm hoping for the best.

 

Thanks guys.

My plans for the future have obviously changed some over the past few months.

With Kyle and I no longer together I wont be able to afford to homestead full time for a couple more years. But with the way things are turning out with my son I dont think Ill be able to work full time either.

But Dad ended up starting his own company and its been booming. He came to the hospital yesterday to see Willam and myself and asked me to come on as a partner. So with any luck that will solve the finincial problems.

I didn't know it but he has been running it out of his garrage for almost a year and went official with a fullblown shop several months ago. So we will see how that goes.

 

Congratulations on the birth of your son! I'm so very happy for you, even in spite of the less than perfect circumstances surrounding his birth!

I'm so sorry you and Kyle are no longer together...I must have missed that information somewhere along the line But very happy to hear of your Dad's business, and your partnership! That's wonderful.

Keep us updated when as as you can, especially with news of your son's health issues...all the good mojo heading your way for the best possible outcome for that!!!

 

He is beautiful ! Hoping all goes well. Will say a prayer that he is OK !

 

Thanks guys. We come from hearty stock. He will be fine. Or thats what Im telling myself.

I thought that I posted earlier that Kyle split when he found out about Willam having spinal bifida and I wasnt going to abort. Oh well. His loss.

 

Oh wow... I will keep you and William in my prayers. I don't have anything nice to say about Kyle leaving so I'll leave it at that. Your dad is a good dad. take care and be careful on the roads driving.

 

You can talk as bad about Kyle as you want.

 

nope Cjay..... not going there. sorry for your distress but it is better to pray for you and William than to say something I shouldn't. I am just sad for you that he chose to do that.

 

Welcome to the world William! What a little sweetheart!
Positive thinking goes a long way. Praying for good results from his in depth eye exam.

 

I may be a bit older than I once was, and not as spry as I used to be. Sounds like I should make a side trip this May when I'm in Muscatine for a wedding and kick some Kyle cowardly butt. I'm not opposed to 'helping' someone discover the error of their ways. Anyway, I'm delighted to hear you are well supported, and that young William will have a loving and caring family.

 

Your little boy is definitely one beautiful little dude! Green suits him too!

 

Cjay, I am so astonished at your bravery! William has one great mommy, and a support from his grandparents, too. Bless you, and William, and your dad and all your family.
Kyle is missing out on so much--just hope he someday realizes just what he could have had.
FBG, if you need back-up, let me know. Texas women are ferocious when riled!
