An Update on the baby

I'm so glad to hear little Kaelyn is doing well! I know she's getting lots of vibes and prayers from the TCS crew, and we all know how potent those are! Please do let us know anything you need, I'm sure we can find a way to provide!

John, I don't know what else I can add. All I can do is offer my thoughts and prayers and let you know I'm here for you. I'm glad your parents are contacting a lawyer and I hope you receive good news soon.

John- i'm soo glad to hear positive updates on sweet little Kaelyn tonight / I just got off work a little while ago and this was the first thread i checked. I am planning on makng a shopping trip in the next few days to get some things together for you then it will be shipped out soon. Thankyou for posting the things you already have. I will be sending lots of necessities and helpful things your way as soon as i get a chance! Let us know how little Kaelyn is doing when you get back and also what the attorney says. Things sound like they're looking up a bit Hang in there handsome- we are all praying for you. Also- do you need anything for Amber's animals? food, anything like that?

Well Im back and I slept for a couple hours at the hospital. There's nothing really to do there except talk to Amber's family and I every time I see her sisters it just makes me so upset. So I ended up crashing on a couch. I did get to hold Kaelyn again but she was sleeping at first then she started to cry. She has a very loud cry. We will have to go to court and get me legal gaurdianship of Lava Girl for me to get her. DCF has already been to the hospital and they are putting Lava Girls case up as soon as possible. They want her to go home with someone who knew Amber instead of a foster home. So it should from what the case worker said be dealt with before she is let out. The doctors say she has to stay in the hospital for at least 2 weeks. Maybe longer if she cant get the hang of breathing. She breathes very weird and is on oxygen.They gave her a bath because the nurses didnt clean her off very well and she still had some dried blood and stuff on her. So I sorta got a pic of that. Not the greatest its zoomed up and taken thru a window. Then I got a pic of her before they put all her wires back on her.
Lava Girls first bath. Showing of her skinny little body. Her face maybe chubby with a double chin but her body is super thin.

After her first bath.

Thats all of the pictures that even turned out semi good. Sorry. Her Grandma is taking a ton of pictures though.

JOhn, thank you so much for the updates.
I am praying that God grants custody of Kaelyn to you!!!

John, glad you got to hold Kaelyn again tonight and glad you got some sleep. She may be thin now but wait, she will chunk right up quickly Thank you for sharing these pics of her, she's a living doll

Thank you for all of the updates, John. You are a strong man.
And Kaelyn, she's beautiful! She's probably one of the cutest babies I've ever seen!

John,
I'm still a newbie here but I've been following along with everyone here, and I wanted to express to you and all of Amber's loved ones my greatest sympathies. Wishing you my best thoughts, and I hope Kaelyn comes home with you.

Kaelyn is looking great!

For a premmie, she really is quite big!

Amber did a wonderful job of carrying her for the last 8 months

thanx for the updates, u are very strong, and u guys are all in my prayers and thought...I am also praying that you get custody of Kaelyn which i think u will!!!! Also Kaelyn is such a cutie pie, thanx for sharing pix !!! She will fatten up real quick !!!!

Thankyou soo much for the update! She is such a beautiful little one! I am glad to hear DCF is trying to resolve things as soon as possible. My prayers are with you that things are worked out so that you are able to adopt her

John, she still gets more gorgeous with every picture. I'm still praying for you and her. She deserves a man as wonderful as you to take care of her. God Bless you!!

Wow look at that head of hair!!!! She is absolutely gorgeous

I am so glad she is doing OK and I am sure the problems will be sorted out soon. On the legal side, it would be fantastic if you can take her home from the hospital - later it could be a big plus if you can show that the hospital recognised you as the appropriate carer. It is hard to have to think about these things when you are in shock, but it has to be done. Good vibes still coming your way.

John shes so beautiful, I hope everything works out and you get to take the sweet little baby home with you. Im sure its meant to be, everything will be ok

John my sympathies go out to you. I wish you the best emotionally and spiritually, and I know that all the right things will happen with Lava Girl. I'm not familiar with the whole story, but from what I read, I just know that you are that girls father. There is more to DNA than being a father and you prove that. I have no doubt that you will be the most important person in her life and everything will work out.

Take care and let me be another person to extend a hand if you ever need anything.

Rob

Still sending prayers and hugs from Mississippi for you and Kaelyn, I hope that all the legal things get sorted out soon.

You have tons of people here that are behind you.

I'm hoping and praying that you get custody of Kaelyn soon. You are doing an amazing job with all of this.

Well first off sorry again for your loss. If you don't mind me asking how early was the baby? I am very familiar with having a premie, my Kaela was one. Born 3 months early and only weighed a pound and a half and now she is 3 and as healthy as can be. I only type this in hopes that it will ease your mind a little. Your whole situtation is just heartbreaking. And I wish you all the best. The docs told me when I my daughter was born that girls are tougher and she certainly proved them right. Again, you're in my prayers.
