Hanging in there. Mom hasn't left the hospital, even though baby is in good hands. My wife has been with her nearly every day and a lot of the nights.

Suddenly my wife is surrounded by nurses and a doctor and she's crying as they try to position my son to get the heart rate picked up again. He's 18 now. Worries me on a regular basis... but I always smile and think about how lucky I am to have him worrying me 18 years later after a scare like that. It probably sounds a bit odd but that's what I'm hoping your family gets to experience. Prayers and thoughts still with your family.
It's funny, just writing about that experience brings tears to my eyes. I can only imagine what your family is going through. Good luck and we're all pulling for the little guy.

Thank you for sharing that. It brought tears to my eyes as well.
23 years ago my first wife was expecting our third child. During one of the later ultrasounds things just didn't seem 'right' so they dug deeper. It turned out that my baby girl had a growth in her chest that had kept her lungs from forming. I guess I don't have to tell the rest of the story and what happened after she was born without lungs.
Anyway...
All things work together for good! And my experiences, good and bad, have made me the person I am today.
