23 Hours Alive!

Our precious baby love has been born and into this world for a little under 23 hours and is making such incredible progress I can't believe my eyes! He went into the NICU yesterday with a pneumothorax and was under the O2 tent at 100% to help him breathe easier. As of about 6 this morning, our strong little man is saturating at 100% (his blood levels are reading that he is perfusing perfect - at 100%) on 33% O2 in the tent. That means that he is almost on room air and that much closer to us being able to hold him! This little boy is a fighter and has dramatically improved in 23 hours. To hold him will be the best thing in the universe. 

I'm really happy with the care that we have gotten here as a family. My nurses have been wonderful, and the NICU nurses have been fantastic as well. Also, I have to say that having a baby is probably the most spiritual experience of my life. I've never been so inspired to pray and to be thankful in my life. It is a blessing that we have this sweet boy and that he is as strong and healthy as he is. I am praying and I know tons of other people are praying that we overcome this small obstacle and we can start our lives like a normal, happy, full of love family. God is great; and so are his believers and followers that have been praying for us. We overcame a lot in the past 48 hours. We have a little ways to go, but I am becoming more at ease with letting God take control and me praying my heart out in thanks and in asking for help for our little boy to feel better! So far, our prayers have been answered and then some!
