Courtney Elizabeth Sprague Is Born

On Wednesday, August 10th, 2011, Courtney Elizabeth Sprague was born. She was 7 Pounds 4 Ounces and 20 inches long. When she came out she had a full head of curly brown hair!  She looked just like her brother Dylan when he was borrn. It felt like I had an army in the Operating Room with me.  The doctors quickly took her to the Neonatal Intesive Care Unit to do scans of her heart as well as evaluating her overall health.  A few hours after she was born, the cardiologist came and spoke with Joe and I while I was in the recovery from my C-Section. He informed us that the diagnosis was correct and that Courtney would have surgery within the next couple days.  She was transferred to Children's Hospital of Los Angeles from Kaiser LA on Thursdsay evening, August 11th. Her surgery was scheduled for August 12th at 8am.
