Sweet little RJ

Precious little RJ was born on Friday April 22nd. Tiff and aaron decided to get rj here by having a C-section so he could for sure get here safely. He weighed 10 lbs 6 oz (I think.... haha) Everything went well. Im sure aaron enjoyed watching the c-section haha. As you can see he is ABSOLUTELY adorable and too cute. And.. he looks like sage.. he got daddy's genes! When he was one day old Tiff and Aaron were holding him they noticed some strange things RJ was doing like twitching in weird ways. They didn't think anything of it. That night the nursery informed them that he had a seizure and was being rushed to the NICU. Ever since then he has been having seizures here and there. They also did a spinal tab and discovered that he has bacterial meningitis. This is a scary thing for an infant to have. They immediately started him on antibiotics. He has also had a MRI and a cat scan to see if they can figure out why he is having his seizures. They did tests this morning to determine his brain function. We should be finding out the results of all of these tests in a couple of days.
The reason I am putting this blog together is because RJ will have a long recovery process. Tiff and Aaron appreciate all of the love and support they have been getting, and would like family and friends to have another source of information to come tol. This way you can read his story and keep yourselves updated if you wish, without having to try and get a hold of them all the time. They have a lot on their minds so this will hopefully take some of the stress off of them. I will try my best to keep this updated. Please keep Rj, Tiff, Aaron and sage in your prayers. They sure can use them at this hard time. We love and appreciate your support.

Tiff will be sending me details on his progress and his detailed diagnosis. I will post this info as soon as I get it!
