Update on Amanda Mireles and her son Mateo...from Grandma Dawn Gehrig

After his birth almost two weeks ago, there have been some complications and Amanda has been released from the hospital and Mateo was in PreNatal Intensive Care.

Mateo is still on the oscillator, but they were able take him off of it and put him on a ventilator for 8 hours. We got concerned because they saw a big spot
on his brain when they did a scan, but it turned out to be a very minute bleed.
They don't seem to be too concerned with it. They said it will close
up on its own.

Amanda and her mom Dawn are staying at the Ronald McDonald house across the street
so they are not too far from him.

Anyways, keep Mateo and Amanda in your prayers, he is a little fighter, just like his mother is.

We (Oscar and Barb...) had planned to go by the hospital last week during the Labor Day weekend, but with the rain we ended up not going to Racine and did not make it to the hospital. But we hope to stop by soon...Amanda would welcome family stopping by...during these challenging times...
