221 Naming Our Son

(Winona)

A few hours later, Dr. Green pops in. The doctor's face is calm, but she does look serious. Jayden and I stand on either side of our son, our hands still resting dently on his tiny form.

The reality of what we're facing is beginning to set in.

"Congratulations on the birth of your son," Dr. Harris says, her voice soft but serious. "He's stable, but we need to be realistic about the challenges ahead."

"What kind of challenges?" Jayden asks.

"He's going to need tube feeding for a while," Dr. Harris explains, her eyes meeting mine with a steadiness that I appreciate. "He's very premature, and his organs are still developing. The next few weeks will be critical in determining his long-term health." Jayden nods, he's absorbing every word, every piece of information. "Will he be...? I mean, will he have any ongoing disability?"

"There's always a chance of health complications in the long term," Dr. Harris continues. "We'll be monitoring him closely."

I swallow hard, trying to keep my emotions in check. "What about his heart?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper. Because the genetic heart problem Abby has might well affect the baby too.

Dr. Harris hesitates, then nods. "Dr. Green, the pediatric cardiologist, will be monitoring him as well. He already knows your daughter's condition and the genetic implications. He'll be here shortly to discuss it with you."

"Oh, thank goodness. Dr. Green has done wonders for Abby."

"Of course, you understand, any surgery would be almost impossible on a baby this size. But these conditions often don't present till later in life."

Jayden squeezes my hand. "Thanks for the information. It helps hearing the truth."

Just then, Dr. Green walks in, his familiar presence bringing a mix of comfort and dread. He's been with us since Abby's first surgery, and there's no one I trust more with our children's health. But that doesn't make this any easier. "Jayden, Winona," Dr. Green greets us with a nod. "Congratulations on the birth of your son."

"Thank you," Jayden replies, his voice steady. "I'm pleased you're involved with his care."
