He's finally here! Jospeh is sweet Abby loves being a big sister. She asks to hold him ALL the time. He never did turn, so I did end up with a C-section. This turned out to be a blessing because he was under some stress in the womb and getting him here quick was important.
Things were a little crazy at the hospital to begin with. His oxygen levels were low , his respirations were too high, and he had pneumonia. He was also throwing up anything we tried to feed him and the nurses weren't able to get an IV into him to give him nourishment. This was scary. Until they were able to finally get an IV in (around 8 pm) we thought he may even be transferred to Primary Children's.
I wasn't able to hold him until that evening when I felt good enough to get into a wheel chair and visit him in the nursery. Thankfully, once he had the IV, things began to get much better! The next morning he was able to be in the room with us!! His doctor decided to keep him in the hospital for a week to monitor him and make sure he received all the antibiotics to treat the pneumonia. And now, we are thankfully home with a healthy beautiful boy, yea!!! Thank you to everyone for all your prayers, concerns and love. We definitely felt your support,

Mindy,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear that everything is going well. You have been in our prayers continually. Please let us know if you need any at all. Eric may be gone for a couple of weeks including the week of conference. So if you would like I can help out or just send you care package. We are so happy for you all. Tell Abby I know she will make a great big sister. I should know I am a big sister to three brothers. Thanks for being who you are.
he is such a sweetie, he looks like a perfect little doll!I am glad you are doing better and that you are home safe.
ReplyDeleteMindy,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you! I hope Joseph stays healthy. That is the hardest for a Mom, when little ones get sick. I hope you are feeling well, and recovering fine. Heather
Congratulations! He's beautiful!!! :-) Abigail too, for that matter. (I'm a bit behind the times, I guess. hehe)
