Ivan Babies: 9 Months After the Storm
By Cynthia Reeves
creeves@sbgnet.com
This week marks nine months since Hurricane Ivan hit, and some small gifts from those long nights without power are beginning to show up.
As Cynthia Reeves reports, some local hospitals and doctors are reporting a spike in births.
No his name is not Ivan.
It is Esher.
He's two weeks old.
He came into the world a couple of weeks early during Tropical Storm Arlene, but he was concieved nine months ago, just after Hurricane Ivan.
Lee Lucier & Heather Minnich/Parents:
"Something good came out of that old hurricane!"
Esher has two sisters, not much older than him, three years old and 14 months, but Mom and Dad, Heather Minnick and Lee Lucier say their little surpise has been God's gift to them during a difficult time..
Ivan filled their home with about four feet of water.
It is still being repaired.
They had to evacuate during the storm and were seperated, but were finally reunited... staying at a friend's house.
Lee Lucier & Heather Minnich/Parents:
"Everything was against us at that point. Our house was basically gone. We lost our wedding pictures. Our kids weren't here and it was all our friends were dealing with the same issue so they couldn't really be there for us. It was kind of he and I and it rekindled our realtionship. It was more, you and me kid, you know, and it kind of made us stronger as a couple and so.. Or crazier! Or crazier!"
Crazy maybe, but Doctor Lisa Tucker has about 30 patients with similar stories.
That's double the number of pregnacies she's normally have this time of year.
She keeps a Wall of Fame to show off birth announcements.
She'll have to add another wall to include all the Ivan babies.
Dr. Lisa Tucker/Obstetrician:
"We had a curfew. We had no power. I will say though it was hot though.. laugh.. I mean that's the only thing I can say..that it was just very, very warm, but a lot of people say what else do we have to do?"
Esher's parents will never forget those frightening days of uncertainly after the storm, but now they also have a sweet reminder of the quiet candlelight dinners.
Lee Lucier & Heather Minnich/Parents:
"Something good. Something good. We, you're going to make me cry, in our announcement we said that Ivan did bring us something good and that was him and that was nice. So we can say it was like a new beginning."
