Surgery

Well, Corey's surgery has been scheduled for January 9, 2007. It is supposed to be a simple out-patient procedure. There will be a small incision, but everything else should be on the inside. Corey should be able to do everything like normal when he gets home. The hernia is on hte left side, so while the doctor is fixing it he will check the right side to make sure that it is okay.
Corey received his first RSV shot today. It is a relief to have that started. He will receive one shot a month for the next four months. He weighed in at 9 pounds and 11 ounces. He is just getting so big!

Surgery

Corey has to have surgery sometime soon to fix a hernia, but I don't think it's been scheduled yet. :( Poor little guy! Other than that, he is doing well. He's doubled his birth weight already! Yay! Also, his blessing was a few weeks ago, so here's a family picture from the blessing! They did it at home, since Corey isn't allowed to go out in public yet.

Exciting News!!!

COREY IS HOME!!! He came home with Heidi and Devin to Rexburg on Wednesday Sept 26. I'm sure most of you already know this though. Sorry I didn't update sooner, but we were on vacation. Anyway, he weighs over five pounds now and is one month old. He is doing really good, and Heidi says he is a good baby. Heidi and Devin are already such great parents! They are so happy to have their beautiful baby home. I don't have any pics to update with... maybe next post!

Update

As of yesterday, Corey weighs 4 pounds 13 ounces. He still has a feeding tube in. He eats what he can from a bottle first then takes the rest in his feeding tube. He still doesn't have a date to go home yet, but he is doing well, and growing!

Welcome!

Thank you for stopping by to see Heidi's online baby shower!

In case you may not know, Heidi and Devin Pinckard became proud parents to a beautiful baby boy on Sunday, September 2, 2007 in Logan, UT. His name is Corey, and he was born six weeks premature due to Heidi's severe Pre-eclampsia. Corey weighed 4 pounds, 4 ounces and was 17 inches long. He is expected to have a 3-4 week stay in the NICU. Heidi is out of the hospital now and is recovering well. Heidi will be staying with some of Devin's family in Logan so she can be with Corey in the hospital until Corey is able to go home to Rexburg with her (about three hours away).

Due to her current circumstances, Heidi will not be able to join her friends and family here in AZ for a baby shower. I've decided to host it online for her so she can join in the fun too!

So, please feel free to leave comments, questions, or congratulations here for Heidi, and she will respond as she has time. You do not need to have a Blogger or Google account to leave comments here, so please comment, and check back often for updates! Thank you so much for stopping by!
