Baby Dale is fine.

Jes had to have surgery, and she came through with a lot of blood loss. Blood transfusion did not work, as she had a reaction - cytokine reaction. Iron transfusions commence and blood transfusion will be attempted again. She is weak, but alive. Baby Dale is 6 pounds. A great weight for a baby born a month early.

 Today Dan is fixing the deck railing so J won't climb up it and fall over the edge.

Tonight I will get a call, shortly before midnight, that baby Dale is born. Then, I will rush to the hospital in the middle of the night, praying out loud in English and Hebrew for Jes to be alive when I get there. It was more terrifying than terrifying.

She's here! I need to come up with a pseudonym for my new little grandbaby. I tested negative late today, so was able to ride up to the hospital an hour or so after she was born and see her. She was born on her Papa's 59th birthday.
