Wife and baby of Glenn Ordway injured during childbirth

BOSTON (AP) - Sports talk show host Glenn Ordway has taken an extended leave of absence from his WEEI-AM program after his wife and newborn daughter both sustained injuries during childbirth.

Ordway called into "The Big Show" Monday to tell listeners that he would be devoting all his time to helping his wife and baby get healthy.

In a statement, Ordway said his daughter, Mia Grace Ordway, suffered a significant trauma injury as a result of complications during childbirth last Thursday. He said his wife, Sarah, also suffered an internal injury during the childbirth.

The longtime Boston sports personality said he would return to the air as soon as possible.
The station said Pete Sheppard would serve as host of the popular afternoon talk show during Ordway's absence.
