Prayers for Connor

My nephew Connor gave his parents and the rest of the family a bit of a scare. As a result, he earned himself a short stay in the NICU for the next couple of days.




Connor turned blue yesterday while he was feeding and they are trying to rule out a few things to figure out the cause of his blue episode. As of last night at 10pm, it had not happened again so we are hopeful that it was a one time thing and was caused by leftover amniotic fluid refluxing out of his belly.


They are running lots of routine tests to rule out anything major. They started him on an antibiotic in case there could be an infection (as you can see from the IV above). We should know more today. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers for the next few days. Maybe being a legacy to my boys will earn him some VIP treatment in the NICU.

With any luck, he'll go home tomorrow with his Mommy & Daddy. Connor, you've got to get going home to see your big sister Emily. We love you buddy - be strong!

The Julian's are rooting for you buddy, especially Winston. He can't wait to greet you with lots of licks like he does with your big sis!

We've been praying for you all!
