Our Newest Granddaughter

Brynlon Shea was born on June 14th.
She weighed 1 lb and 14 oz.
She was 13 inches long.

Mom and baby are doing well. The doctors report that baby is doing as well as can be expected for her age and size. She is breathing on her own and only has oxygen on her nose which they are working on removing in the next few days.

Grandma (Sister Jones) gets more homesick by the day and wishes she was there to help.

The baby was born 14 weeks early and we are told that we can expect to bring her home near her due date which will be in September.
