It's been an interesting trip to get there, especially this last week (wow.. that's all I have to say haha)
Emmeritt James (EJ) was born Wednesday at 2:47pm - 6lbs, 11oz and 19" long
He had a slightly collapsed lung when he was born - the doctors just said 30%, but for a little guy like him, it was made our hospital worried. They aren't really equipped to handle an infant, especially one with respiratory problems. He was transferred to a hospital in Omaha last night at 7pm and my dad and I followed him down. Between the initial X-Ray that was taken, the 2nd one taken around 530, and the last one taken around 8, each one showed improvement so the doctors decided to observe him and see if he continued to improve on his own. Which he did! He was taken off the oxygen hood - CPAP type thing to give him the oxygen - and was breathing "room air" as of 4am Thursday morning. Another health issue has come up and we are waiting for answers on that (though we think we may know the answer) but otherwise, he's doing great!
Mom was discharged Friday morning and went to the NICU in Omaha to see him and has barely left his side I know it's going to have sleepless nights, being broke, and other things but I'm looking forward to it all
