Hey guys, Jacob Micheal (Musky Kid) Collins was born 12-11 at 10:35 AM. He weighed in at 7#6oz. I didn't girth him , but he is 21" long. He had to be moved to the Childrens hospital where he will be kept until he can recover from a respiratory infection. Any and all prayers are greatly appreciated... I got my little musky buddy. Man what a feeling. God Bless, MAtt

Congrats Matt and family.
Hoping for a speedy homecoming for the little guy.
No CPR this time. Keep him and he'll still grow...all too fast sometimes.
Congrats again. Hugs to the wife and little one.

Matt, keeping your fingers and toes crossed all this time paid off. You got your musky buddy! It won't be long before he is outfishing you and hogging all the film. Jacob will be fine and be home before you know it. You know how tired you are after you fish web? Get used to that.;-) Congrats dude!

WooHOO!!!!!!!

Congrats Matt!!!!! Way to go!!! try not to worry too much (yeah right) about the respiratory infection. Infants have alot of antibodies to fight that kinda stuff (so i am told). They are cool as heck! I have 3 boys, 2 1/2 yrs and younger. They only get better. Remember one thing. When you both are trying to change his diaper at the same time and acting like he may break, dont worry, they are pretty sturdy.

Matt,

You have my prayers for sure. What a great blessing for your family.

One question.....are you using a net or a "craddle" in his room?

Congradulations. I just had mine one year ago two days from now! Boy is your life going to change. My prayers are with you and your family. I hope he is home soon in the loving arms of his parents.
