When big brother, Jack, first found out his Mom was pregnant he wanted to name his younger brother ‘Flash’ after the comic book hero who moves very fast. Well…living up to his name, Flash was born at the speed of light on the cold stormy eve of December 31st at 7:17pm. He was born with the assistance of the excellent medical team at Faribault Hospital and he was immediately rushed (in a flash) to the neonatal hospital in Minneapolis. Raymond Ambrose Isenor, his given name, was born at 26 weeks and 6 days. At birth he weighed 2 lbs. 7 oz.
We first offer our thanks to God for watching over him. We also have the deepest heartfelt appreciation to all the caring medical experts who helped to save the life of little Raymond that night. They gave us the gift of a precious tiny baby and the hope that we have today.
Raymond is at the Neonatal Program in Children's Minnesota in Minneapolis and is being well cared for by a loving and kind staff under the watchful eye of Mom and Dad. He will be there until his original due date, which is the end of March.
Thank you very much for visiting his Caring Bridge site. Please check in on him often to track the progress of our precious little, very little, baby boy.
