The last few days have been hectic and crazy. Our tiny granddaughter made her appearance on Oct. 31,7 weeks early, weighing 2 lbs 6 oz. and 15 inches long. Her name is Kiara (pronounced kee-ah-rah) Bell Jarboe. Our daughter in law is recovering from a c-section at Riverside Hospital in Columbus (OH).
Late on her second day, Kiara was rushed across Columbus to Children's hospital for emergency surgery very early Wednesday morning to repair a hole in her intestine. We've been back and forth between the two hospitals and stayed Wednesday night in Columbus rather than do the 80 mile drive back to Coshocton (OH) where we live.

Kiara is doing well and making good progress, but it will be a long time before she will be able to go home. We would all appreciate your prayers, especially Kiara and her Dad and Mom, Scott (our son) and Stephanie.

Kiara's eyes are covered because she is under a light to treat some jaundice while Grandma get's Kiara to stretch her legs.
Stephanie will be dismissed from the hospital today. Pray for them as they sort through their schedule. Stephanie will be unable to drive or return to work for 6-8 weeks.
