Madilynn Hope Ferrell

I just wanted to introduce to you the newest member of the Ferrell Clan. This is Jacob's first born, Madilynn. She had a rough couple of days and had to stay in the Neo-Natal ICU but looks like shes about to get to go home. Her parents are very proud and excited. Her grandparents are as well.

Madi was born on the 16th of June just in time for Jake to celebrate his first fathers day as a dad. She was somewhat premature, and had a little bit of difficulty breathing regularly on her own so they put her in ICU for several days. Now here's the weird part, from what I've be able to gather. Jake works at sonic in Caldwell, Texas or at least he did. He called in to say he wouldn't be in for work because his first child had been born early and was in the ICU in College Station.  Apparently, he talked to a shift leader who told him it was "taken care of." The next day, he finds out that he had been fired for what Sonic called, "no show/no call". When Jake protested , he was told by the assistant Manager that while he did call in, he didn't speak to a manager, which would have been the proper procedure. Now the really interesting part is that Madilynn's maternal grandmother was the store manager for this Sonic at the time and she was with Jake at the hospital. It's starting to sound like an episode of Jerry Springer, right? Well low and behold, the assistant manager happened to be the daughter of the owner of this particular Sonic. Ahh. Is it starting to make a little more sense? Then another strange coincidence happened I am told. The maternal grandmother is no longer the store manager for the Caldwell Sonic. Are you wondering who the new store manager is? I am too.

I'll  try to keep you posted. And for the time being, I think I have to stick to Dairy Queen or Whataburger or better yet a non-chain restaurant. And if anyone knows of a job opportunity for either Madilynn's father or her grandmother, please let me know and I'll pass it along.
