Hudson

Courtney wanted me to post the latest goings on with Hudson here on the blog.

He was born on Tuesday 3/1 at 7:36am. He weighed 7lb 10oz and was 19" long. His head is 14" around....a Hatchett head.

Shortly after he was born it was soon discovered that he had some fluid in his lungs so they took him to the NICU for observation. They did a chest x-ray to determine the extent of the fluid and after seeing it decided that he needed to be admitted into the NICU.

Right now he has an oxygen dome over his head to help him breathe and is getting all of his nourishment from an IV. He has been steadily improving so that's good. Because of the dome we are unable to hold him so that's a little frustrating.

From what the nurses have told us, if things keep progressing along it should be about 7-10 days before he can go home.

Please pray that the fluid will continue to go out of his lungs and that he'll be able to come home soon.

If you're reading this and you also use Facebook but you're not friends with me send me a friend request, the latest Hudson updates usually go there first.
