Just the beginning.....

Our son, Wesley James Byork was born Saturday, September 13, 2008 at 9:15pm. He weighed 1 lb 7 oz, 11 in long. Due to pregnancy induced hypertension, the doctors decided it was in our best interest to deliver through c-section after a few days of monitoring in the hospital. Wesley was born only 24 weeks into pregnancy, so he still has a long way to go before he's strong enough to come home. He will be 1 week old today and has been doing great. His doctors and nurses have been great, and we know he is receiving the best care possible. I want to thank everyone for their kind words of encouragement and most importantly, your prayers. I was released from the hospital yesterday, but Wesley will remain in the NICU for the rest of the year. Please continue to pray for him as your prayers have brought him this far.
