Patti Ann Browne & her husband are happy to announce the birth of
their son at 1:01 am on Thursday, July 21st, 2005. He was impatient
to see the world, so he made an early entrance, but is doing great!
He'll be in the hospital for a couple of months until he gets
bigger. Patti Ann was discharged from the hospital on July 24th,
and is recovering well after an emergency C-section.

Patti Ann still has no access to her Fox email account. She spends
most of her time at her son's bedside. Unfortunately she has
no time to respond to the many wonderful caring messages from
viewers, but she and her husband are extremely grateful for all the
support and prayers. They ask that you keep the prayers coming,
since their tiny little boy still has a long way to go.

Fox has been extremely supportive during this difficult period, as
well as during Patti Ann's long recent hospitalization and earlier
bed rest. She might go back to work for a few weeks during her
son's stay in the ICU, to save some maternity leave for when her son
is finally allowed to come home with her. But this all depends on
how things go. In the meantime, thank you all again. Your support
truly means a lot.
