Kal DeMartini Johnsen

Kal DeMartini Johnsen was born today, nearly three weeks early.  Mikayla went into labor last night, checked herself into the hospital at 9:00, and delivered at 12:30.  I slept overnight at their house, and Brick and Cora spent the day with us.

Kal was born with congenital pneumonia.  His lungs weren't fully developed, and he was immediately put in the NICU.  They have tried three different things to help him breath better, but he may need to be transferred to Utah Valley hospital if he doesn't improve quickly.  We are sad he isn't doing better.  I took the kids up to see their mom and dad and meet Kal, but we could only look at him through the nursery window.  He is little and has lots of hair.  We are happy he is here, we are praying for him, and hope he'll make it home soon.


As Brick and Cora were hanging out with us today, we walked over to the school to meet the big kids.
Brandt pushed them around on the merry-go-round, then hopped on himself so I could take a picture.
Everyone was so glad to see each other and be together.
