So last week Jen took Bryant in to get weighed and he weighed in at 7lbs 6oz. We took him today to see our regular pediatrician, Dr. Agnew. Bryant weighed in at a hefty 8lb 6oz. I can tell you he has been packing in the food. He has been eating 4 oz every 2 1/2 hours. He is making up for missed time.
Next Friday we are heading back to Salt Lake for a follow up appointment with the surgeons. Aspen is excited to hang out with Papa Lonnie again. And I know what my dad is thinking. Yeah, more Hotel for Dogs!!!
We don't have much more for news. Just that we are sleep deprived. More Jen than me. But it is all worth it.
Oh..one more thing. We started getting our bills from Primary Childrens Medical Center, Life Flight, and the U. I saw a lot of interesting things we got billed for, and for the most part I can't complain, but the funniest was sterile water. It cost us $11.36 every time. If I knew it was going to be that expensive I would have brought my own water. Just kidding. But come on, we're in a recession.
About The Martin Family
- Joe and Jen Martin's Space
- My wife and I have been married for nine years. We have two wonderful kids that fill our life with joy and happiness. Aspen is now a soccer player. She loves to dance and sing. Bryant is our ladies man. He's not shy about his smile. Especially with the ladies. He definitely got his looks from his dad, because mom still has hers. Bryant gave us a scare when he was born. He was born with a birth defect called EA/TEF. In short, his esophagus was not attached and he had to have surgery to reattach it. We spent five long weeks in Salt Lake City while he got better. Now you wouldn't even know. His big sister adores him and he returns the love. They are two peas in a pod. Just giggling over nothing. To round out the Martin clan we have two outragous dogs, Duncan and Casey. Duncan is a little over seven and Casey is about five. Then we have her majesty Katrina. That is our black cat and she rules the house with her stares. But she is also full of love. She plays with Aspen and keeps an eye on Bryant. This is our family, and I wouldn't wish to trade places with anyone.

Oh my gosh, I had no idea that you guys were going through all this! I just checked in for the first time since Bryant was born. (Shame on me!) I hope you are all coping ok with all of this. It sounds like he is doing better, and the best is yet to come. Now, I will keep checking back regularly for updates! Our thoughts and prayers are all for you right now!
