Vince and Lily had a baby (that’s right the Vince who is in jail, more details to follow). James Harold Edwards born in Longgang city center hospital. He was 8lbs 4 oz. Lily, his wife, had her grandmother and her sister there, but of course no Vince. He might know about the baby by now, but I’m not sure since there isn’t much communication between the inmates and family. It really is a horrible situation, but we are all thankful for little James.
Lily trying to recover. The Dr.'s told her the 8 lb. baby was too big to push out and she needed a C-section. This is a common hospital scam in China, they tell all the women this because the C-section is much more expensive than natural birth. The article listed below suggests a 50-60%C-section rate in China. http://www.china.org.cn/english/health/199658.htm
Hospital room inLonggang. How many people can you fit in one room? And the amazing thing is all those people you see are not just visiting (except us). They stay with the mom in the hospital the whole time -- 5 days. Lily had her sister, her sister's son and her grandmother all staying with her in the room (and sharing the bed).
