Zachary Allen Rickels

Well today was a long and exciting day for Rickels Family. Wednesday, Lauren went to the doctor and everything looked good. The doctor thought we could make it another two weeks. Then on Thursday, Lauren's blood work can back and her mild toxemia had turned into a more serious condition. The toxemia was attacking her liver and the only cure was to deliver. The doctor decided that she would perform a c-section. Lauren and I went into the OR at 5 and Zach was born at 5:24 PM. Zach was 6 lbs 6 oz and was 19-1/2" long. Mom and Zach are doing fine. We will post pictures soon.
Thanks to everyone for helping us and keeping us in their prayers.
