I Am Home!

Praise the LORD Cyrus came home yesterday. He is doing really well.  When he was discharged,  he weighed 6lbs and 13oz; today at his follow up appointment,  he weighed 7lbs and 3oz.  Love you all.

Visiting with Cyrus

Today Cyrus is enjoying some "tummy time" and he is doing so much better with his breathing (very smooth and even). Praise the LORD!  He will probably have to stay behind when Barbie gets discharged tomorrow. When we were with him, the attending nurse said that Barbie may be able to hold him this afternoon.  Very exciting since we have not been able to hold him yet. He weighed in at 7lbs even which is not unusual for a baby to lose some weight after birth. We will post more later on. Love you.

Say Hello to My Little Friend

My lords and ladies...and everyone NOT sitting on a cushion! It is my honor, nay my privilege to introduce you to the newest member of the Tupua Clan: Cyrus Eston Tavita Tupua.  He was born on March 11, 2014 at 11:47 in the morning.  He weighed in at 7lbs 5oz and measured 19. 5inches long. Barbie is doing better today. Still in pain but up and about this morning. We went to visit Cyrus in the nursery.  He is doing so much better. The nursing staff is very pleased with his progress today. He still requires a steady flow of oxygen but at a lower dosage. The head pediatrician said that they will continue to lower the amount of oxygen to the point where he can regulate the oxygenating process in his lungs on his own. The LORD has truly blessed us with Cyrus' progress.  We love you all. Thank you for your prayers.
