I’ll leave the witty postings to BT and provide just the facts . . .
After the nursery hadn’t brought us our baby several hours after his birth, BT went in search of answers. The news that he returned with was not what any new parent wants to hear . . .
- Your baby is showing signs of respiratory distress (“grunting & flaring”)
- Blood tests reveal a possible infection.
- An x-ray shows fluid in the lungs and possibly an enlarged heart.
- We’ve had to move him to the NICU for further care.
To make a long story short, we were able to bring our perfectly healthy baby home on Friday, just one day later than originally planned.
I’ll add more details later . . . gotta go take care of a crying baby. What a great sound it is!
