He is here

Baby Hank was born on Sunday June 14, 2009. It was/has been a little more eventful then we had hoped but are grateful he is here. We went to the hospital at 8:30am to be induced, but after being checked found out Hank was breech. The Dr. did an inversion which means he flipped the baby by pushing on my stomach to turn him...Rod said a new meaning to deep massage. He finally flipped and away we went with delivery. He came at 3:33 pm. He weighed 6 lbs 10 oz and was 19 inches. He was struggling to breath and was sent away to the nursery. After further checking him out the Dr felt he needed to be transferred to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center to the NICU and put on a ventilator. He is still in the NICU, but has been taking off the breathing machine. He is still being feed with a feeding tube and we are trying to get him to feed on his own. His coloring was pretty yellow today so they put him on the belli lights. We are hoping that
maybe this weekend he could come home.

He was struggling to breath so they put on the Cpap machine, but it wasn't enough so this is when they decided to transfer him.

His transport cart

The next day trying to see how he does off the machine. Shortly after this they put him back on the breathing machine again.

I finally got to hold him for the first time on Tuesday

Proud daddy

I am awake

Kate and Meg were allowed to come in yesterday. They could come in onetime and only stay for 5 minutes. Kate was so excited and wanted to stay longer. Then today when I was going back she wanted to go in and see him again. And was so sad she couldn't.

She wasn't as excited as Kate.

Thank you to everyones thought and prayers.

And thank you to everyone who has helped watch my girls so Rod and I are able to be at the hospital as much as we can.
