EMBRYO SAVED AFTER KATRINA.......BABY IS BORN AND NAMED:    NOAH !!
 
COVINGTON, La. - Sixteen months after being rescued as a frozen embryo from a hospital flooded by Hurricane Katrina, Noah Benton Markham entered the world Tuesday morning and was greeted by his cheering family.

The 8 pound, 6 1/2-ounce boy was born by Caesarean section at 7:23 a.m. CST at St. Tammany Hospital. He was in good shape, doctors said.
Before the procedure Rebekah and Glen Markham had decided that if their baby was a boy, he would be named after the biblical builder of the Ark. A girl would have been Hannah Mae — Hannah means "God has favored us."
Relatives gathered around as Glen Markham, grinning proudly, carried the tiny blanket-wrapped bundle topped by a pink-and-blue cap out of the operating room. For a few seconds he tried to make them guess whether the baby was a boy or a girl. Then he said "It's a boy!" to an eruption of cheers and applause.
Rebekah Markham's mother, Lezette Crosby, got on the telephone to another relative: "It's Noah! It's Noah! It's a boy!"
"All babies are miracles. But we have some special miracles," said Wanda Stogner, a cousin of Rebekah Markham.
 
So as in the days of Noah..........YFIC,    Randy
