Welcome Bailey Swann Hodgson
On Wednesday, February 24th at 5:03 our daughter was born. She weighed 7 lb 6 ozs. Lanier and I named her Bailey in honor of a dear family that we have come to know and love through FCA.
The first time Bob Bailey met Lanier, he said, "We've been praying for you." The Baileys and their entire family has meant so much to Lanier and me that we decided on the name before we were even pregnant.
The first two weeks of Bailey's life have been quite a roller coaster both for her, as well has Lanier and me.
After a return visit to the hospital three hours after being discharged, Bailey had some blood drawn to run down some tests on her. Last Wednesday (March 2) Lanier and I sat in a doctors office where we learned that based on blood work that came back, a genetic metabolic specialist believed that Bailey has a rare metabolic disease called LCHAD.
If you want to read more about Bailey's story please visit the following link where I wrote about her diagnosis and how to pray for Bailey as well as for Lanier and me.
