For those of you who still check on this site and are interested, we have posted several pictures in an album on Picasa.
Anthony Ryan Rush was born 21 DEC 2007 at 1:57 pm. He weighed 7lbs 11oz and was 20 inches long. He is a week and a half old already...has been to the Dr's office twice, celebrated his first Christmas, and has been to church for the first time. As you can see from the pictures posted here, he has changed SO much already!!!!!
Anthony struggled with jaundice for the first few days of his life; however, after having a biliblanket (phototherapy) for a few days, he is back to "normal" and his liver is functioning just fine.
He is the most precious and darling child I have EVER seen. He is so perfect in everyway, and we love him more than we ever thought possible to love a human being.
Grammy and Grandpa Sumner have been here from the time momma and daddy went to the hospital, and they will be going home today. We have all enjoyed each other's company greatly, and we will be sad to see them go, but that's part of life when you live so far away. Uncle Vince, Aunt Kyla, and cousin Noah came to visit in the hospital and arrived approx. 30 minutes before the little man made his debut. Aunt Ree and Uncle Chris came to see Anthony the day he came home from the hospital. Also, Great-Grandma Connie & Great-Grandpa Errol came for a visit this past weekend. It's been a blessing having family come to visit.We will be in Indiana the weekend of 12-13 January, but time is going to be tight trying to see family in Indianapolis, Martinsville, and doing Christmas with both families.
Thanks again for your continued support, love and prayers! We will continue to need those as we nurture and raise our son to be a fine young man!Love always in Christ,
Tony, Shawna & Anthony
