New Baby-Owen L. Boyle RIP
Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 7:57 am
Rosie Boyle, daughter of Owen and Marie Boyle gave birth to Owen Lee yesterday afternoon at 3:11 p.m. He weighs 6 pounds, 14 ounces and is a little over 19 inches long.
Early in Rosieâ??s pregnancy it was discovered that the baby has a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (a hole in the diaphragm). About a month ago his stomach was through the hernia and sitting on the left side of his chest where is heart would normally be. This caused his heart to be pushed toward the ride side of his chest.
The concern is how is lungs will function. He was put on a ventilator immediately following his birth and is being assessed.
