We have some exciting, if a little sudden news to share with you. Earlier today Elias Richard Ronnevik came to meet us at. He weighed 6 lbs 7 oz and measured 19 inches long. Good size for a boy four weeks early. Here are a couple pics.
Elias has been having difficulties breathing so he was flown to MeritCare in Fargo where he is getting a little assistance breathing. Please pray that we will be able to bring him home as soon as possible. From what they tell us he will be in NICU for at least a week. Here is a picture of him getting all ready to fly.
