Many of you have prayed for my son Timothy who is battling cancer. He is now half way through his treatment and has started missing enough work that the company has asked him to apply for short term disability. But that cannot start until after his week of paternity leave, which started on Tuesday.
He had spent Monday in the hospital with a series of tests showing he had a couple of infections. They asked us to drive to Denver to help in case he didn't improve - they had a due date of April 8. By the time we got there (a 4 1/2 hour drive) on Tuesday, he had taken his wife to the hospital in labor.
Ended up being quarantined in the delivery room all day - he was contagious with cdiff and norovirus. Their baby arrived at 9:05. So his wife gave birth on his 26th birthday. He was cleared to hold his baby at about 5:00 on Wednesday.
Mom, baby and dad are all doing well. Tim continues to receive treatment and although he is growing increasingly weak, he is keeping his spirits up.
