We would like to announce the arrival of our son, Vollen Van Schlueter. Vollen was born at 4:38PM at Lakeside Hospital. He weighed in at 8lbs. 3.9oz and was 20.75 inches long. Casie was in labor for 10 hours before she receive any pain management and taken in for surgery. Casie is doing well with her recovery except for dealing with the extreme warmth of the room and some discomforts following the surgery. We are in a hospital room with no windows at this time so we are hoping to get moved to another room so that we can see some of the sun tomorrow. Vollen is a quiet little guy and is spending the night in the nursery. We were informed that Vollen has Down Syndrome and we expect to receive more information regarding the function of his vital organs over the next few days. Tomorrow, Vollen is to be sent to Bergan Mercy Hospital to be seen by neonatal specialists for additional tests and closer monitoring. I just checked on Vollen in the nursery and he is sleeping soundly. I just looked over to Casie and she is sharing that same state of calm. We will be sure to keep everyone updated.
