Just received an email from Ronnie (RBlues) - can we please get some of that DGMS magic working on behalf of her beautiful new granddaughter?
Ronnie - sending good thoughts your way. Please keep us in the loop and give Mom and Dad a hug from us.
Her email...
Hi Linda,
My granddaughter, Gianna Denise, finally made her arrival yesterday at a whopping 7lbs. 8oz. (actually a little on the small side for our family!) with a full head of hair. She is absolutely adorable! About two hours after her birth, she started turning blue and ashy. With a little prodding, she "pinked-up" but did the same thing again as soon as she got comfortable. They whisked her away to the NICU and are doing a bunch of tests to figure out what's going on.
Although we don’t know what's going on, I know with every fiber of my being that this baby is going to be fine. My daughter Vanessa on the other hand, is beside herself with grief and worry. It really hurts to see your child (no matter how old she is) suffering so deeply. I would like to ask that the members of our blogmunnity send positive thoughts, prayers and healing energy toward this little family especially my daughter and son-in-law Jovon so they can have the faith and courage to be strong for their daughter.
Thank You.
RBlues
Sending positive energy and lots of good thoughts!!!!

Ronnie! Congrats on the new grandbaby! I pray all will be fine with her. Cyber Hugs to you, Gianna, Vanessa and Jovan during this stressful time. When my youngest was born, her lungs collapsed and she also turned that blue/grey color. They caught it right away because the Neonatal nurses were at the delivery because she was considered high risk because she was breech. If she had been in correct position, the OBGYN nurses at the delivery probably would have missed the few signs she had given that her lungs were not fully working. After just a few days in NICU she was cleared to go home. I pray your little grandbaby will be home with her parents and well sooner than later.

I'm taking Veronica's position on this; sometimes it takes a little bit for the lungs to realize that oxygen is now their job. I'm sure Gianna will be fine, and you know how babies are, they like to keep parents and grandparents on their toes! Positive vibes coming your way from the resident vibester...
