Jace Ryder Stewart

The best sound in the world... him crying
Ready to go to the Stollery... 1 1/2 hrs old.
Day 1 - Big Brother's First Look at brother
My boys..
18 hrs old... Mommy's 2nd hold.

On June 15th at 6:05 am Jace Ryder Stewart entered our world screaming his head off.. A beautiful sound considering his condition and all that we'd been prepared for (at his birth). An 1 1/2 after he was born he was transported to the Stollery Children's Hospital. He underwent surgery on Tuesday morning to repair his heart and after two anxious days and a few set backs he has started to come out of sedation on Thursday afternoon late... He opened his eyes for his mommy... which was a huge relief... He has strawberry blonde hair, beautiful ears and the cutest little button nose. All of the nurses are in love with him.. As are his parents and his BIG brother Isaac. Here are some pictures of the first 3 days.

Glad to hear that Jace is fighting hard! I've been thinking about you all this week. Not fair to tease with pictures and then not produce though! All the best - we can't wait to meet Jace in person. Hope Momma and Poppa are taking care of themselves - do they have enough ice cream at the Ronald McDonald house?!? Hello to Big Brother Isaac!
Love Darren, Jamie, and Sophia

He's so beautiful Lea! Big hugs to all of you guys. We ran into your mom and dad at the hospice while visiting Donna, so it was great to get some updates. Glad to hear everything is going well, and we're thinking of you all.

Love the Browns

Someday it will not matter how big my house is, how much money is in the bank, or where i have travelled.. only that I have been important in the life of a child...
