Christopher Lloyd
This is my new third cousin, Christopher Lloyd. Yes, a famous name for a boy who is destined to be something special.
Christopher was born at 24 weeks, on Thanksgiving Day, weighing in at 1 pound 5 ounces and 12.5 inches long. His parents have been trying for a long time for him and after two adoptions were finally blessed. Leigh (my cousins and Christopher's momma) developed preeclampsia two days prior to his birth. After pumping her with steroids for those 48 hours, he was finally born. They say he has been strong so far, but that it is going to be a long, hard, difficult road for Christopher. Leigh should be out of the hospital in a few days, but between hospital visits she has a 5 year old and an 18 month old at home.
Please pray for this family. Eventhough they are my second cousins, we are pretty close and I am really longing to be with them now.
