Merik Alan Riding
We welcome you to the Phelps Family!
Our sixth grand baby was born on "Solar Eclipse" Monday! August 21st 2017. Merik was scheduled to be delivered by C-Section. We arrived bright and early Monday morning at 6:00 and he was born at 7:45. He weighs 8lbs 12 oz and is 20 1/2 inches long. He had some trouble with his oxygen levels so he stayed in the nursery ALL DAY. (Actually he had to stay in the nursery all the next day as well) That ended up being ok because Kaitlyn had terrible nausea and threw up pretty much the whole day:(
She finally got to go into the nursery and see him around 5:00.
Merik has lots of dark hair and favors his momma.
Yesterday (Tuesday) he was still having troubles with his oxygen and was seeming to be having some withdrawal symptoms of which the doctors were of unsure of so last night they flew him into IMC because it's a bigger hospital with a NICU.
I got to visit him today and he is doing very well. I was able to feed him and hold him for a half an hour. They are pleased with how he is doing.
He is a beautiful baby and we are happy to have him in our family:)
