We have a baby girl!
We just got the call from Dr. Samit and Rudy!
Wow.
Well it is time to get to India. Time to pack everything. Time to go!
Actually I just got back from a work conference in Minneapolis last night. Amber left this morning for a four day work week in Juneau. She was on the "milk run", which stopped in Cordova and then left Yakutat but the weather was bad and they overflew Juneau and went to Seattle. So now Amber is boarding a flight from Seattle to come and help me pack, at which point we will be going back through Seattle on our way to Hyderabad. Its Alaska - almost all flights go through Seattle. Anyway that's the news!
No name yet. Maybe when Amber gets off the plane we can figure that out!
Here's the message from Dr. Samit!
Hey brian and amber..
GREETINGS AND HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS FROM ALL OF US HERE AT THE K.I.C.
Find attached pics and a video of your little female Alaskan snowflake.
She was 2100 grams at the time of birth,as you will see in the video she is very active and trying to open her eyes.
She is presently in the n.i.c.u at the lotus children’s hospital and doing good.
Once again congratulations take a deep breath.this is as real as it gets… and get down here as soon as possible.
Regards
Dr. Samit Sekhar
