Zander

Hello everyone. Christie is resting comfortably (with drugs) but she is doing well. Last night was a long night for both of us. Zander did not get out of surgery until about 1:30 a.m. and Christie was able to see him for the first time around 4:00 a.m. this morning. Zander is definitely a fighter. He is hooked to more tubes and electrodes than you can imagine. He is beautiful and he gets this from his mother. Enjoy the pics and feel free to leave comments.
Christie will probably be in the hospital until at least Saturday. We are at Erlanger downtown and at present in room 5069. All is well and your thoughts, prayers and comments have been a great source of strength for our family.
Thanks to all

You and Christie have a beautiful family and I am praying for Zander. He is very beautiful and i am sure he gets that from both his parents. Tell Houston and Jackson I said congratulations on being big brothers. I am sure they will be good at it.

I can only imagine how excited, but anxious you must be at the same time! Your family continues to be in my prayers.

He's tough stuff! So much to be thankful for! Hugs to Christie...you did a great job and you are a trooper.

I mowed the lawn today and prayed for Zander the whole time...that's no small task with our yard! Let me know what we can do to help out.

You are loved,

Mom's right, he is a beautiful child. But we expected nothing less :) I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you both. You are in good hands both with your doctors and God. It is obvious that Zander will never want for love and I hope that gets you all through this tough time. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We are sending you more love than you will know what to do with.

What a wonderful boy. God made him strong with determination which will sustain him through the next months. His love radiates from his small body. No one can look at him without knowing there is a gracious and merciful God who answers prayers with a beautiful creation. Zander, I love you.

What a precious, precious little guy! I know it has to be hard seeing all the tubes, but at the same time knowing that we serve a God that is in control.

Many Prayers!!!
