Half Brother-Elias!

Yeah, so I finally have a brother...=)
Elias was born on September 26th at 2:35pm. He is sooooo cute, he weighed in at 7lbs 13oz and was 20 inches long.
Before being "released" from the hospital in Cassia, the doctor realized that Elias didn't have an anus....so off to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. Well, once they got there they found out that Elias will have to have open heart surgery at4 or 6 months...when he recovers from heart surgery he will have the surgery to fix his "plumbing". They also found that Elias only has one kidney and there is a 1 in 4 chance that it won't work....so...I think that is all that is wrong. (Poor guy) They did a surgery on Elias on Tuesday that allows him to poop in a bag. So far he is doing okay, I talked to my dad last night and they said that they have him in clothes and Dad and Tyna have been taught how to take care of Elias's "poop bag"....so we are hoping that they will be coming home soon.
I spent Monday and Tuesday at Primary's with my Dad...what a neat place.
