Curtis and Kelsey Popp welcomed a beautiful baby Boy, Christian Kenneth Popp on August 23rd, at 6:31am at Castle Medical Center in Kailua, Hawaii. He weighed 7lbs. 13oz. and 19 inches long. After a rushed and complicated delivery mom and baby were separated just minutes after being born.
Just hours later Christian was diagnosed with a congenital heart failure, and will need to be life flighted to Children's Hospital San Diego. Curtis and Kelsey will not be permitted to accompany their son on his first plane ride, at just six days old. They will both take a commercial flight to San Diego where they've been told to expect may be a 6 week stay.
In addition to his loving parents, Christian has two brothers Conner (4yrs), and Cohen (2yrs) and his infant cousin Ethan (6mo). Ethan's father is a hero at work in Afganistan and will remain in the Popps care until his father's return to the US. Conner, Cohen, and Ethan will remain here in Hawaii with their proud Grandpa Jay Kenneth, with whom Christian is named after. The Popps are hoping to reunite the entire family in San Diego, after Christian is deemed stable following his much needed open heart surgery.
Upon their arrival Curtis and Kelsey will take residence at the brand new Ronald McDonald House. Once the entire Popp family makes it to San Diego new accomidations will be needed, as only four, including baby Christian can be housed at the RM House.
