Tiny Meagan Whitney Mahan and Parent
Three-Pound Baby ¡
Is Family Darling |
Arriving three months prematurely, Meagan Whitney Mahan £
weighed in at 3 pounds, 2 ounces at 2:32 p.m May 24 at Good §j
Shepherd Hospital in Longview. =
The tiny and fragile bundle of life, the daughter of Jill and Robby =
Mahan, is their first child. i-
But she is a survivor! Shortly after birth, it was realized that =
Meagan would need surgery to repair an artery which is on top of the £
heart at birth. The artery closes after birth to allow blood to flow to £
the lungs. Meagan's artery failed to stay closed, therefore surgery ¡¡
was necessitated. p
Her weight finally bottomed out at 2 pounds. 9 ounces while she §f
was hospitalized at Willis Knighton Hospital in Louisiana. Dr. Po-i £
_ Tseng, neo-natologist, performed the operation May 27. =
= Less than two months later, the tiny little girl was free of straight- £
£ pin-size IV needles and off the ventilator/oxygen machine f
£ Released to her parents July 12 with a heart monitor. Meagan is =
£ now free of that, too. £
£ In fact, she has grown and blossomed with the passage of time un- £
£ der the loving care of her parents and grandparents, aunts, uncles £
£ and cousins. She is a hefty 6 pounds, 7 ounces today, a more (han £
= double in growth since birth.
§ Other family members in the local area include grandparents, Mr. §j
s and Mrs. John M. Chandler of Gallatin and Trina Mahan, Longview £
£ and Robert Mahan of Mt. Pleasant. Great-grandmother is Esteile £
£ Ouslev of Gallatin. ^
