Hi everyone I wanted to take a little bit to give everyone an update on what has been going on the past few days.
Ill let Mom give the full update on whats happened over the past week, but there has been some major changes. On the May 28th in the evening Jess started having contractions. The doctor gave her a one time dose of morphine and Motrin to see if she was going into full on labor. She wasn't. The contractions eventually subsided and she fell asleep. On the morning of the 29th however we noticed that Jess was having an irregular pulse compared to what is has normally been on the NSTs. Her temp started going up and she started having a yellow discharge (We think the Motrin might have masked the fever for a few hours). We pretty much knew it was go time because it looked like the start of an infection. They ran her blood to double check and it came back positive. Her white blood cell count was 30. Our nurse said about 10 is normal. I'm really proud of my wife for paying such close attention to her body because I could tell that she knew something was up and was constantly informing her health care staff. She was prepped for her c-section which was the longest 10 minutes of my life because I had to wait outside the OR. She did great. She asked that I follow Milo to watch over him while they finished sewing her back together. He was born at 1:36pm on 5-29-13. He was 2lb 9oz and about 14 inches long.
Mom is just recovering now and her temp has gone down, but milo has been having a hard time (Any prayers are much appreciated). Jess knows a lot more about this stuff then I do so I won't go into to many details, but basically his lungs and heart are not doing well. They put him on nitric oxide but for a while he needed 100% oxygen from the ventilator. He seems to have a positive response so far. I know Mom will try to keep everyone updated as much as possible, but updates might be spread out (whenever she is feeling up to it). Thanks again for all your prayers and well wishes up to this point.
