To all Friends and Family
Lincoln is here! At 6:21 PM Lincoln entered the world kicking and screaming! He was 5 lbs 9 oz and 18 3/4" long...he has his daddy's legs! Everything that could go perfect in delivery did! We could not have asked for a better delivery! Kristen did great and is now resting in the Cardiac ICU for close evaluation for at least 24 hrs. She did get to hold him for a few brief seconds before they took him to the Neonatal ICU. This will be tough for Kristen since they will be separated for a day or two (she has only seen pictures of him since delivery). Lincoln is stable and is being evaluated by the cardiologist and heart surgeons throughout the night as they decide what steps to take.
For those who know or know a little bit of medical jargon...this is for you. Lincoln's blood pressure is a little shallow but his heart rate it 150 bpm (approx) and in a normal sinus rhythm. They did have to intabate him because he needed some assistance breathing and to keep his oxygen saturation levels up. His APGAR is 8. He has a good temp and his color is great!
OK....getting back....most likely Lincoln will need surgery within a couple of days but it all depends on him and what they find on his Echo. He might just be stable enough for them to hold off for a week or two...but we just don't know. The next 48 hrs are crucial for Lincoln and his stability...so please be praying hard! We have pictures but I cannot post them tonight....sorry! Tomorrow you will see the cutie! We will update you tomorrow with more news....but for now we gotta get some sleep! Thank you and we love you all....GOD IS GOOD!!!

Josh and Kristen,
Congratulations, I'm so glad I got to read this before I went to work this morning. I will be praying all day for wisdom as the doctor evaluate and make their plans. God is so good! I praise Him for this little one He has formed, and look forward to watching how He will continue to provide for his every need.
I will especially be praying for Kristen during this time of separation from Lincoln, that God will give her a sense of peace that Lincoln is being well taken care of under God's direction.
We love you guys and are praying for you all (mom, dad and all the grandparents).

Fantastic. We know that God is good and that He has a wonderful plan. May HE help all of you to walk through it. Love and prayers, Jan and ESA/Love INC
Thank you for letting me be a part of this scary process in LA. It was so nice to see the doctors and nurses treat Kristen so kindly and answer all of Josh's technical questions. Josh has been very knowledgeable, communicating with the doctors and has been able to translate to family and friends so well. It was healing to sit and comfort each other throughout this scary time with family at the hospital.

Congratulations!
We're so happy that lincoln arrived safely and Kristen did so well. God is good! We will be continuing to pray for Lincoln, that he will be able to wait to have surgery. Also, wisdom for the doctors as they analyze all data concerning him. Praying also for Kristen's recovery and the time she has to wait without holding your dear child. God's blessings and peace to you and the new grandparents!
Love, Jocie :)

Hey you guys,
Thanks for the update Josh. Wow...what a time you all have had. My heart breaks for you as you deal with the low times. Yet we know our God is COMPLETELY IN CONTROL. I'm so thankful Lincoln is doing better right now. Don't forget to take one day at a time. Try not to jump ahead. Remember Phil. 4:19 "And my God shall supply ALL your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We are continually praying for you all and you are never far from our thoughts.
We love you!
