Daniel T. McMillan

Almost 3 weeks old...
This was our first visit on a Saturday (19 days old). He gave us quite a scare. Just before we got to the hospital, the tubes leading to his lungs filled with blood. A doctor, two nurses, and a respiratory therapist were frantically working to stabilize him for most of the 3 hours we were there. His blood-oxygen levels were quite low through much of that time. The doctor has told Tim & Tracy that open heart surgery might be necessary.

Julyn (Randy's cousin's daughter) was his nurse that day. When she finally had the chance to talk to us, she told us her first thought after this incident started was, "I'm sure glad the parents aren't here." Shortly after that, we walked in and she thought, "Oh crap, the grandparents are here!"
