2am Call from the Hospital

Well as we suspected baby Lucas did not quite handle breathing on his own yet. His brain pathways need to be a little more developed yet. He continued to have trouble with breathing on his own with the assist CPAP, so at 2am they called me (mommy) and said they were going to retube him back on the Vent. His little heart was stressing too much from trying. Every 10 minutes or so his heart would decelerate down so low he would set off all the alarms. It was too much stress for him, so they elected to give him more time to rest and develop those neurons. They will try in a few more days. The good news is they believe Lucas is 28 weeks old today, a week older than initially thought. This is due to his development and size.

Happy 1 week old today son! Can't wait to bring you home...
