Well you are all probably wondering what has been going on. Well here we are on our adventure early. Yes! Jonah Theron Archibald came on January 23, 2009 at 7:05pm weighing in at 5lb 13oz. and 18 1/4 long. He was then taken over to the NICU at Primary Childrens by the life flight team. He was in the NICU for 3 days.
Here is where it was the first time we got to hold him. You could only hold him 1 time a day.
On Monday January 26, 2009 the Dr. Burch (in the picture) decided that he was ready for the heart surgery. He was in surgery for about 7 hours. They started at 7:30am in the morning.
This was him the day of surgery before they started. Isn't he cute!
We got to go up to the PICU at about 5:30pm that day and here he is. This is how he looked right after surgery.
They closed his chest on Wednesday January 28. Here he is after they finished it took them about an hour and a half before we could go back and see him again. He looks a lot better not with a bulging bandage on his chest.
Here is his little foot they haven't taken foot prints yet because of all the things he has had on his feet. But his little feet are really dry and need lotion.
This was on January 31, 2008 He is looking lots better. He has been loosing fluid to make him look skinnier. They also have given him a feeding tube so that he can start eating YEH! He doing great the nurses say and Dr.'s. Jonah is already a obedient kid and doing all that he is supposed to. He is our SUPERSTAR!
We are all doing great Faithy is staying at aunt Holli's and is doing well we call her everyday and she is usually to busy playing to want to talk to us. Thanks for everyones support and prayers we are not done yet but getting there. We love you all.

He is so sweet. He is looking even better than he did when we saw him. Know you are in our prayers and we love you all.
It was a special experience to go see him yesterday with you guys. He is a special spirit, and you are lucky to have him in your home! (and yes, the pictures still make me cry!)
It's so great to hear that Jonah is doing ok! Love you :)
I am glad everything is looking good for your little guy. He sure is handsome.
