Another Family Addition - Marleigh Coletti

This just in from Cousin Dianne Moore:

Hi everyone!!! I am a grandma now! Please read my son's email below for all the details and see the pictures of my new Granddaughter! I was in the labor/delivery room for the final 7 hours (!) and saw her being born...what an awesome experience!!!
Love to all, Dianne

Hello!
Here are some pics of our new little girl, Marleigh Grace Sonya Coletti.

She weighed in at a lean and mean 6lbs15oz., was 19.5" long and showed up at 2:01pm on Saturday September 1st!
Tonya was in active labor for approximately 21 hours (8 at home and 13.5 at the hospital) and gave birth naturally without an epidural! She is an amazing woman.

Although we did not name her for the meaning, the name Marleigh is derivative of Marlene which is Greek for "High Tower", We thought the name Grace was perfect and added Sonya because it was Tonya's Grandmother's middle name....if you knew her, you would truly understand. She passed away one week before Marleigh's birth.

So far we've had one day home all together and it's been awesome. I am so excited to be a daddy and to have such a wonderful family.

Saddest News - Melonie Schollmeyer

Image
I don't even know how to write this. We are all so very sad. Melonie Schollmeyer, a vibrant woman, our relative and friend, became suddenly ill over the weekend and passed away. Details at this point are sketchy. **(The following is updated info as of noon Monday)** Melonie's children, Brittany and Robert, just had their Confirmation on Saturday evening. Melonie was not feeling well enough to attend, and stayed at home with flu-like symptoms. Afterward the children, Mary, and Cheryl all visited with Mel before going taking the children to spend the night with Tom. The next day Cheryl and Mary could not raise Melonie by telephone and so asked Tom to go see how she was doing. He did so (thankfully the children stayed in the car) and found Melonie had passed away in the bedroom. The Medical Examiner's Office is doing an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Mary Wroten, Mel's mom, and her sister Cheryl Wroten, are understandably still in somewhat of a shock today. I am ...

Edith Admitted to Hospital Again

Rick reports that his mom had been overdosed on Coumidin - an extremely dangerous anticoagulant drug - and also had an infection going on. Long story short, she is no longer at the physical rehab facility. She has been admitted again back into the hospital where both situations are hopefully being remedied, and she has the love and support of us all. Auntie Edith, hang in there, we all love you!!

Fast Update on Tom Tate

Dad did finally receive a tracheostomy yesterday, so that tube is gone out of his mouth and now sprouts from his chest. They tried to put the feeding tube down his nose but it keeps clogging up so today [or tomorrow] they will insert a port into his stomach... Later today or tomorrow we will start a search of local specialty hospitals that might have the criteria to care for Dad after his discharge from the ICU. I am headed for the hospital now, so please forgive the brevity of this post. Hugs to all, and thank you again for all your prayers. Susan P.S. I am printing out all the wonderful comments to the blog and also the emails I've received from so many, and taking them to Mom to read. It's so encouraging to her to see all the support and love Dad has. God bless you all.
