On Sunday, July 26th, Whitney gave birth to the beautiful Kylie Chrystine. Jon and Whitney are in love with their new baby girl, as we all are.Kylie was born with Esophageal Atresia and Tracheoesophageal Fistula, and after 4 days in the NICU she had surgery and so far the surgery was a success.
On Friday, July 31, they tried to remove the breathing tube, but Kylie did not respond well so they had to reintubate or she would stop breathing. They tried to remove the breathing tubeagain on Sunday, August 2 but again she had difficulty breathing. The Ear, Nose and Throat doctors then came in and assessed Kylie and told us that she was suffering from vocal chord paralysis (her vocal chords are in the closed position and not allowing air to pass to her lungs). As she was crying before she went into surgery, we know that they were functioning at birth; and therefore, hope that the stress of the surgery caused only temporary paralysis.
Please continue to lift up Kylie, Jon and Whitney in your prayers. We believe Kylie will fully recover from this with no additional setbacks, and Jon and Whitney will soon be able to bring their little girl home.
