On March 14, at 6:29p.m. eastern, Andrew Joshua Bolin arrived! He was delivered via c-section at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville and Andrew and his mom, Alicia are doing well. Despite the av block and being born 2 months early, he is not on oxygen and his heart rate is stable. Originally, the docs had planned to put in a pacemaker at birth, but they say he will be going home without one. He is a little fellar, just 3lbs. and 13oz. and 15 1/2" long, but he is quite handsome! Praise be to God and special thanks to you all for your prayers. The Ped. cardiologist calls him a "prayer baby"! Keep the prayers flowing as there is still a long way to go. I will be driving back to IN this evening and then to Nashville and back to IN on Monday, so prayer for traveling mercies would be helpful for old Grandpa! God Bless, Mike

You've got it... you see what the Lord's doing in Hooked's baby Garrett's life and we pray God will visit the same healing and mercy on your li'l Andrew.
Keep the Son in your eyes. Prayres for safe travels and ongoing good reports.
Thank you, Lord...thank You!

Congrats on the new guy!! My wife is a nicu nurse and the amazing stories I hear from Her on how these special children fight and survive is unbelievable.
My own Son was born a month early and was barely over 4 lbs. 21 years later he is 5'11" and 225 lbs so don't let the small start fool You. Have a safe journey. bretto

Amen and prayers and praise sent. The bible says not to be disappointed in small beginnings and bretto's son is a good example why!

Mike. I am always in aw to what Medical Science has achieved and how strong Gods "little one's" actually are. Doctors and treatments have come a long ways in the past 20 years or so. You know as well as I do that God had to have his hand in this birth. Your little one has Gods eyes on him and his mother. God bless to every one in your family and take care. Dave from Nove Scotia

Just got in from TN again! Andrew is progressing better than the doc's thought possible! He has already regained and surpassed his birth weight! He is eating thru a feeding tube, which they tell us is normal for a "preemie", as they don't gain the coordination to nurse until 34-37 weeks. Thanks to all for the prayers and keep 'em comin"!! God Bless, Mike
