Welcome to the World, Peter Bradley Scholtens
Peter was born Sunday, May 22, 2011 at 12:25 pm. He arrived 10 weeks earlier than expected and will be spending several weeks in the very capable hands of his doctor's at Covenant Hospital.
Peter's prognosis is good at this point. He is a tiny little peanut, weighing in at 2 lbs, 9.9 oz. He has already been removed from the ventilator and a breathing tube. The doctor's do have him still using a c-pap breathing apparatus, but with only 22% oxygen. Peter is feisty and all the nurses say he is of good size and looks healthy for his small stature.
I will be in the hospital until at least Thursday and then spending most of of my days here until our little monster comes home.
We appreciate all the support and prayers from our many family and friends and will keep you posted to the best of our ability.
